Explanation:

Antiochus killed thousands of Jews and sold the women and children into slavery. He tried to force the Jews to compromise their beliefs by cruel acts. He tore down the city walls and forbade sacrifices and circumcision, a sign to the Jews of their covenant relationship with Jehovah. He had them beaten with whips until many died. He tried to break their wills, but they resisted. The Samaritans again escaped persecution through compromise, causing the Jews to hate them even more.
