Tiberias (Israel) (search for this): section 87
But when John was come to the city of Tiberias, he persuaded the
men to revolt from their fidelity to me, and to adhere to him; and many
of them gladly received that invitation of his, as ever fond of hem, and
prevented them; for a messenger had come to me from Silas, whom I had made
governor of Tiberias, as I have said already, and had told me of the inclinations
of the people of Tiberias, and advTiberias, and advised me to make haste thither; for that,
if I made any delay, the city would come under another's jurisdiction.
Upon the receipt of this letter of Silas, I took two hundred men along
with me, and traveled all night, having sent before a messenger to let
the people of Tiberias know that I was coming to them. When I came near
to the city, which was early in the morning, the multitude came out to
mee en armed men that were with
him, I attempted to make a speech to the multitude of the people of Tiberias:
and, standing on a certain elevated place, I entreated them not to be so
hasty in their revolt
Tiberias (Israel) (search for this): section 94
But before I had spoken all I designed, I heard one of my own domestics
bidding me come down, for that it was not a proper time to take care of
retaining the good-will of the people of Tiberias, but to provide for my
own safety, and escape my enemies there; for John had chosen the most trusty
of those armed men that were about him out of those thousand that he had
with him, and had given them orders when he sent them, to kill me, having
learned that I was alone, excepting some of my domestics. Shen he sent them, to kill me, having
learned that I was alone, excepting some of my domestics. So those that
were sent came as they were ordered, and they had executed what they came
about, had I not leaped down from the elevation I stood on, and with one
of my guards, whose name was James, been carried [out of the crowd] upon
the back of one Herod of Tiberias, and guided by him down to the lake,
where I seized a ship, and got into it, and escaped my enemies unexpectedly,
and came to Tarichese.
Tiberias (Israel) (search for this): section 97
Now, as soon as the inhabitants of that city understood the perfidiousness
of the people of Tiberias, they were greatly provoked at them. So they
snatched up their arms, and desired me to be their leader against them;
for they said they would avenge e report of what had been done to me to all the Galileans,
and eagerly endeavored to irritate them against the people of Tiberias,
and desired that vast numbers of them would get together, and come to them,
that they might act in concert with their c . Accordingly, the Galileans came to me in great numbers,
from all parts, with their weapons, and besought me to assault Tiberias,
to take it by force, and to demolish it, till it lay even with the ground,
and then to make slaves of its inhabitants, with their wives and children.
Those that were Josephus's friends also, and had escaped out of Tiberias,
gave him the same advice. But I did not comply with them, thinking it a
terrible thing to begin a civil war among them; for I thought that this

Gischala (Israel) (search for this): section 101
But now John was afraid for himself, since his treachery had proved
unsuccessful. So he took the armed men that were about him, and removed
from Tiberias to Gischala, and wrote to me to apologize for himself concerning
What had been done, as if it had been done without his approbation, and
desired me to have no suspicion of him to his disadvantage. He also added
oaths and certain horrible curses upon himself, and supposed he should
be thereby believed in the points he wrote about to me.

Gischala (Israel) (search for this): section 102
But now another great number of the Galileans came together again
with their weapons, as knowing the man, how wicked and how sadly perjured
he was, and desired me to lead them against him and promised me that they
would utterly destroy both him and Gischala. Hereupon I professed that I was obliged
to them for their readiness to serve me, and that I would more than requite
their good-will to me. However, I entreated them to restrain themselves,
and begged of them to give me leave to do what I intended, which was to
put an end to these troubles without bloodshed; and when I had prevailed
with the multitude of the Galileans to let me do so, I came to Sepphoris.

Ptolemais (Israel) (search for this): section 104
But the inhabitants of this city having determined to continue in
their allegiance to the Romans, were afraid of my coming to them, and tried,
by putting me upon another action, to divert me, that they might be freed
from the terror they were in. Accordingly, they sent to Jesus, the captain
of those robbers who were in the confines of Ptolemais, and promised to
give him a great deal of money, if he would come with those forces he had
with him, which were in number eight hundred, and fight with us. Accordingly,
he complied with what they desired, upon the promises they had made him,
and was desirous to fall upon us when we were unprepared for him, and knew
nothing of his coming beforehand. So he sent to me, and desired that I
would give him leave to come and salute me. When I had given him that leave,
which I did without the least knowledge of his treacherous intentions beforehand,
he took his band of robbers, and made haste to come to me. Yet did not
this his knavery succeed well at l
