9 He sent envoys to King Demetrius, saying, "Come, let us make a covenant with each other, and I will give you in marriage my daughter who was Alexander's wife, and you shall reign over your father's kingdom.
10 I now regret that I gave him my daughter, for he has tried to kill me."
11 He threw blame on Alexander because he coveted his kingdom.
