1 Maccabees 1:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And his servants made themselves kings every one in his place:

¹⁰ And they all put crowns upon themselves after his death, and their sons after them many years, and evils were multiplied in the earth.

¹¹ And there came out of them a wicked root, Antiochus the Illustrious, the son of king Antiochus, who had been a hostage at Rome: and he reigned in the hundred and thirty-seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks.
