Expulsion of Heliodorus (Old Testament narrative)

Note: Story from 2 Maccabees 3, of Heliodorus having been sent by the Syrian king to the Temple of Jerusalem to take its treasure as tax payment to the Romans, but he was turned back by three miraculous beings and told to proclaim to all men the majesty of God's power. During the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, the Expulsion of Heliodorus was portrayed by Roman Catholics as an allegory of the inviolability of Church property.
