45 And many out of Israel consented to his servitude, and they sacrificed to idols, and they polluted the Sabbath.
46 And the king sent letters, by the hand of messengers, to Jerusalem and to all the cities of Judah: that they should follow the law of the Nations of the earth,
47 and that they should prohibit holocausts and sacrifices and atonements to be made in the temple of God,
48 and that they should prohibit the celebration of the Sabbath and the solemn days.
