1 Maccabees

1 Maccabees 1:16

Καὶ ἡτοιμάσθη ἡ βασιλεία ἐνώπιον Ἀντιόχου, καὶ ὑπέλαβεν βασιλεῦσαι γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ὅπως βασιλεύσῃ ἐπὶ τὰς δύο βασιλείας.
King James Version (KJV)

Now when the kingdom was established before Antiochus, he thought to reign over Egypt, that he might have the dominion of two realms.

Modern English

Once his kingdom was firmly established, Antiochus set his sights on Egypt, wanting to rule over both kingdoms.
