1 Maccabees 1:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Then, in the twelfth year^[a] of his reign, Alexander died.

⁸ After that, his officers assumed power in the kingdom, each in his own territory. ⁹ They all put on royal crowns after his death, as did their heirs who succeeded them for many years, inflicting great evils on the world.
