1 Maccabees 10:52-54

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵² “Since I have returned to my kingdom and have taken my seat on the throne of my fathers, and established my rule—for I crushed Deme′trius and gained control of our country; ⁵³ I met him in battle, and he and his army were crushed by us, and we have taken our seat on the throne of his kingdom— ⁵⁴ now therefore let us establish friendship with one another; give me now your daughter as my wife, and I will become your son-in-law, and will make gifts to you and to her in keeping with your position.”
