Latin
2And that there was in it a temple exceeding rich; and coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields, which king Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian, that reigned first in Greece, had left there.
3So he came, and sought to take the city and to pillage it; but he was not able, because the design was known to them that were in the city.
4And they rose up against him in battle, and he fled away from thence, and departed with great sadness, and returned towards Babylonia.
