Good News Translation
Antiochus was sure that the mother was making fun of him, so he did his best to convince her youngest son to abandon the traditions of his ancestors. He promised not only to make the boy rich and famous, but to place him in a position of authority and to give him the title "Friend of the King."

New Revised Standard Version
Antiochus felt that he was being treated with contempt, and he was suspicious of her reproachful tone.

Contemporary English Version
From the way the mother was talking, King Antiochus could tell she was insulting him and sneering at him. The youngest son was still alive. So Antiochus made all kinds of promises to the boy and tried to make him change his mind. He said, "If you will forget about the teachings of your ancestors, I will make you rich and respected. You will be one of my trusted friends and a government official."

New American Bible
Antiochus, suspecting insult in her words, thought he was being ridiculed.
