5 The people told him what Jonathan had done, hoping that he would hold him responsible, but Ptolemy said nothing.
6 Jonathan, with all the proper ceremony, went to Joppa to meet him. They exchanged greetings and spent the night there.
7 Jonathan accompanied him as far as the River Eleutherus before returning to Jerusalem.
8 In this way King Ptolemy, in his plot against Alexander, took control of the towns along the coast as far north as Seleucia-by-the-sea.
9 From there Ptolemy sent this message to King Demetrius: “Let's make a treaty. My daughter is now Alexander's wife, but I will take her back and give her to you and let you rule over your father's kingdom.
10 I regret that I ever gave her to Alexander, because he has tried to kill me.”
11 Ptolemy made this accusation against Alexander because he wanted to take over his kingdom.
