15 But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war against him: whereupon king Ptol´emy brought forth his host, and met him with a mighty power, and put him to flight.
16 So Alexander fled into Arabia, there to be defended; but king Ptol´emy was exalted:
17 for Zab´di-el the Arabian took off Alexander's head, and sent it unto Ptol´emy.
18 King Ptol´emy also died the third day after, and they that were in the strongholds were slain one of another.
19 By this means Deme´tri-us reigned in the hundred threescore and seventh year.
20 At the same time Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea, to take the tower that was in Jerusalem: and he made many engines of war against it.
21 Then certain ungodly persons, who hated their own people, went unto the king, and told him that Jonathan besieged the tower.
