49. And the two kings joined battle, and the army of Alexander fled; and Demetrius followed after him, and prevailed against them.
50. And he strengthened the battle exceedingly until the sun went down: and Demetrius fell that day.
51. And Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemy king of Egypt according to these words, saying,
52. Forasmuch as I am returned to my kingdom, and am set on the throne of my fathers, and have gotten the dominion, and have overthrown Demetrius, and have gotten possession of our country;
53. yes, I joined the battle with him, and he and his army were discomfited by us, and we sat upon the throne of his kingdom:
54. now also let us establish amity one with the other, and give me now your daughter to wife: and I will make affinity with you, and will give both you and her gifts worthy of you.
