1 Maccabees 1:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ And (so) Alexander reigned twelve years, and was dead.

⁸ And his children wielded the realm (or And his servants ruled the kingdom), each in his place,

⁹ and all putted to them diadems (or they all put crowns upon themselves) after his death, and the sons of them after them, (for) many years; and evils were multiplied in (or on) (the) earth.
