HOW Sosius and Herod took Jerusalem by force; and besides that, how
they took Antigonus captive, has been related by us in the foregoing book.
We will now proceed in the narration. And since Herod had now the government
of all Judea put into his hands, he promoted such of the private men in
the city as had been of his party, but never left off avenging and punishing
every day those that had chosen to be of the party of his enemies. But
Pollio the Pharisee, and Sameas, a disciple of his, were honored by him
above all the rest; for when Jerusalem was besieged, they advised the citizens
to receive Herod, for which advice they were well requited. But this Pollio,
at the time when Herod was once upon his trial of life and death, foretold,
in way of reproach, to Hyrcanus and the other judges, how this Herod, whom
they suffered now to escape, would afterward inflict punishment on them
all; which had its completion in time, while God fulfilled the words he
had spoken.
