ngs had joined battle, Demetrius' host
fled: but Alexander followed after him, and prevailed against
them.

1 Mac 10:50
And he continued the battle very sore until the sun went
down: and that day was Demetrius slain.

1 Mac 10:51
Afterward Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of
Egypt with a message to this effect:

1 Mac 10:52
Forasmuch as I am come again to my realm, and am set in the
throne of my progenitors, and have gotten the dominion, and
overthrown Demetrius, and recovered our country;

1 Mac 10:53
For after I had joined battle with him, both he and his host
was discomfited by us, so that we sit in the throne of his
kingdom:

1 Mac 10:54
Now therefore let us make a league of amity together, and
give me now thy daughter to wife: and I will be thy son in law,
