1 Maccabees 10:53-55

Common English Bible

⁵³ I met him in battle, and we crushed him and his army. I have taken my seat on the throne of his kingdom. ⁵⁴ Therefore, let us establish friendship with each other. Give me your daughter to be my wife, and I will become your son-in-law. I will give gifts to you and to her in keeping with your position.

Happy was the day on which you returned to the land of your ancestors and took your seat on the throne of their kingdom.
