1 Maccabees 1:7

7 And after Alexander had reigned twelve years, he died.

1 Maccabees 1:7 In-Context

5 After this he fell sick and perceived that he was dying.

6 So he summoned his most honored officers, who had been brought up with him from youth, and divided his kingdom among them while he was still alive.

7 And after Alexander had reigned twelve years, he died.

8 Then his officers began to rule, each in his own place.

9 They all put on crowns after his death, and so did their sons after them for many years; and they caused many evils on the earth.
