In the meantime King Alexander was in Cilicia, because those who dwelt in those parts had revolted against him.
15
But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war against Ptolemy; whereupon King Ptolemy brought forth his host, and met him with mighty power, and put him to flight.
16
So Alexander fled into Arabia, there to be defended, but King Ptolemy was exalted.
17
For Zabdiel the Arabian took off Alexander's head and sent it unto Ptolemy.
18
King Ptolemy also died the third day after, and those who were in the strongholds were slain by one another.
