Upright ones — Many of the religious Jews joined with him: the rest of his army was a profane rabble of rude Heathens. He shall give — Antiochus shall give Cleopatra his daughter to young Ptolemy, called the daughter of women, for her beauty. Corrupting her — Persuading her to betray her husband: but she stuck to her husband's interest, and not her father's.
