1 Maccabees 1:7 In-Context

5 But eventually Alexander fell sick and was confined to bed. He knew that he was dying.

6 He therefore called for his most esteemed officers, those who had been raised with him; and he divided his kingdom among them while he was still alive.

7 Then Alexander died, having ruled for twelve years.

8 Subsequently, his officers began to rule, each in his own territory.

9 They ruled as kings, and after them their descendants ruled for many years. Together they caused much suffering across the earth.
