1 Maccabees 10:59 In-Context

57 So Ptolemy set out from Egypt, he and Cleopatra his daughter, and came to Ptolemais in the one hundred and sixty-second year.

58 Alexander the king met him, and Ptolemy gave him Cleopatra his daughter in marriage, and celebrated her wedding at Ptolemais with great pomp, as kings do.

59 Then Alexander the king wrote to Jonathan to come to meet him.

60 So he went with pomp to Ptolemais and met the two kings; he gave them and their friends silver and gold and many gifts, and found favor with them.

61 A group of pestilent men from Israel, lawless men, gathered together against him to accuse him; but the king paid no attention to them.
