1 Maccabees 11:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ So King Ptol′emy gained control of the coastal cities as far as Seleu′cia by the sea, and he kept devising evil designs against Alexander. ⁹ He sent envoys to Deme′trius 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.”
