1 Maccabees 11:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ And Alexander flew into Arabia, for to be defended there; soothly king Ptolemy was enhanced (or was exalted).

¹⁷ And Zabdiel of Arabia took away Alexander’s head, and sent (it) to Ptolemy.

¹⁸ And king Ptolemy was dead in the third day (after); and they that were in (the) strengths perished, of them that were within the castles (and those who were in the strongholds, perished by those who were in the villages).
