1 Maccabees 11:11

Listen to 1 Maccabees 11:11
11 Ptolemy made this accusation against Alexander because he wanted to take over his kingdom.

1 Maccabees 11:11 In-Context

9 From there King Ptolemy sent this message to King Demetrius: "Let's make a treaty. My daughter is now Alexander's wife, but I will take her back and give her to you and let you rule over your father's kingdom.
10 I regret that I ever gave her to Alexander, because he has tried to kill me."
11 Ptolemy made this accusation against Alexander because he wanted to take over his kingdom.
12 So he took his daughter away from Alexander and gave her to Demetrius; he broke off all relations with Alexander, and they became open enemies.
13 Then Ptolemy entered Antioch and assumed the crown of Syria; so he wore both the crown of Egypt and the crown of Syria.
