Listen to 1 Maccabees 11:9

1 Maccabees 11:9 In-Context

7 Jonathan went with the king as far as the Eleutherus River, and then he returned to Jerusalem.
8 So King Ptolemy gained control of the coastal cities as far as Seleucia by the sea. He kept devising evil plans against Alexander.
9 He sent envoys to King Demetrius to say, "Come, let's make an agreement with each other. I'll give you my daughter to marry, Alexander's wife. Then you will rule over your father's kingdom.
10 I now regret having given him my daughter since he tried to kill me."
11 He cast blame on Alexander because he desired to take his kingdom.
