2 And he fought many battles, and won many strongholds, and killed the kings of the earth,
3 and went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils of a multitude of nations. And the earth was quiet before him, and he was exalted, and his heart was lifted up,
4 and he gathered together an exceeding strong host, and ruled over countries and nations and principalities, and they became tributary to him.
5 And after these things he fell sick, and perceived that he should die.
6 And he called his servants, which were honorable, which had been brought up with him from his youth, and he divided to them his kingdom, while he was yet alive.
7 And Alexander reigned twelve years, and he died.
8 And his servants bare rule, each one in his place.
