1 Maccabees 1:16–19

Apocrypha of the Old TestamentOther versions

And when, in the opinion of Antiochus, the kingdom was (sufficiently( established, he determined to exercise dominion also over the land of Egypt, in order that he might rule over two kingdoms. So he pushed forward into Egypt with an immense force; with chariots, and elephants and horsemen, together with a great fleet. And he waged war against Ptolemy, the king of Egypt. And Ptolemy turned back from before him, and fled; and there fell many wounded. And they captured the fortified cities in Egypt; and he took the spoils from the land of Egypt.
