5 Everyone blamed Jonathan for all the damage, but Ptolemy said nothing.
6 Jonathan met Ptolemy at the town of Joppa, and Jonathan honored him. The two men spent the night there,
7 then the next day Jonathan rode with him to the Eleutherus River before heading back for Jerusalem.
8 Soon Ptolemy had command of the towns on the coast as far as Seleucia. He kept plotting against Alexander,
9 and one day he sent a message to Demetrius the king, which said:Let's make an agreement. I will arrange for you to marry my daughter Cleopatra, the wife of Alexander. Then you can rule your father's kingdom.
10 It was a big mistake to let Alexander marry her. He even tried to have me murdered!
11 Ptolemy said other insulting things about Alexander because he wanted his kingdom.
