He set out for Syria with peaceable words, and the people of the cities opened their gates to him and went to meet him, for Alexander the king had commanded them to meet him, since he was Alexander's father-in-law.
3
But when Ptolemy entered the cities he stationed forces as a garrison in each city.
4
When he approached Azotus, they showed him the temple of Dagon burned down, and Azotus and its suburbs destroyed, and the corpses lying about, and the charred bodies of those whom Jonathan had burned in the war, for they had piled them in heaps along his route.
5
They also told the king what Jonathan had done, to throw blame on him; but the king kept silent.
6
Jonathan met the king at Joppa with pomp, and they greeted one another and spent the night there.
7
And Jonathan went with the king as far as the river called Eleutherus; then he returned to Jerusalem.
8
So King Ptolemy gained control of the coastal cities as far as Seleucia by the sea, and he kept devising evil designs against Alexander.
9
He sent envoys to Demetrius the king, 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
For 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.
12
So he took his daughter away from him and gave her to Demetrius. He was estranged from Alexander, and their enmity became manifest.
