1 Maccabees 10:22-24

Wycliffe Bible

²² And Demetrius heard these words, and was made full sorrowful, and said,

²³ What have we done this thing, that Alexander before-occupied us, for to catch (the) friendship of (or with) (the) Jews, to his (own) strengthening?

²⁴ And I shall write to him praying words, and (promise him) dignities, and gifts, (so) that he be with me in help.
