9. And he sent ambassadors to king Demetrius, saying, Come, let us make a covenant with one another, and I will give you my daughter whom Alexander has, and you shall reign over your father’s kingdom;
10. for I have repented that I gave my daughter to him, for he sought to kill me.
11. And he cast blame on him, because he coveted his kingdom.
12. And taking his daughter from him, he gave her to Demetrius, and was estranged from Alexander, and their enmity was openly seen.
13. And Ptolemy entered into Antioch, and put on himself the diadem of Asia; and he put two diadems upon his head, the diadem of Egypt and that of Asia.
14. But king Alexander was in Cilicia at that season, because they of those parts were in revolt.
15. And Alexander heard of it, and he came against him in war: and Ptolemy led forth his host, and met him with a strong force, and put him to flight.
16. And Alexander fled into Arabia, that he might be sheltered there; but king Ptolemy was exalted.
17. And Zabdiel the Arabian took off Alexander’s head, and sent it to Ptolemy.
18. And king Ptolemy died the third day after, and they that were in his strongholds were slain by them that were in the strongholds.
