15But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war against him: whereupon king Ptolemy brought forth his host, and met him with a mighty power, and put him to flight.

16So Alexander fled into Arabia, there to be defended; but King Ptolemy was exalted:

— 1 Maccabees 11:17 —

18King Ptolemy also died the third day after, and they that were in the strongholds were slain one of another.

19By this means Demetrius reigned in the hundred threescore and seventh year.
