1 Maccabees 10:59 In-Context

57 So in the year 162 Ptolemy and his daughter Cleopatra left Egypt and arrived at Ptolemais.

58 King Alexander met them, and Ptolemy gave him his daughter in marriage. The wedding was celebrated there in Ptolemais with royal splendor.

59 King Alexander wrote asking Jonathan to come to meet him.

60 So Jonathan, in a show of splendor, went to Ptolemais and met the two kings. He presented them with gifts of silver and gold, and he also gave many gifts to the high officials who had accompanied them. Everyone was favorably impressed with him.

61 At the same time some traitorous Jews who wanted to make trouble for Jonathan made accusations against him, but King Alexander paid no attention to them.
