He is also supposed to be spoken of in Daniel 2:39; 7:6; 8:5-7; 11:3-4. ALEXANDER BALAS Eleventh King of Syria, 150-145 B.C. His struggle for the throne, his promises to Jonathan, his pro-Jewish policy may be learned from 1 Maccabees 10:1-89. He was vanquished by his father-in-law, Ptolemy Philometor of Egypt, and Syria thus passed into the hands of Demetrius II (1 Maccabees 11:1-19). ALEXANDER A son of Simon of Cyrene mentioned by St. Mark (15:21) who carried the Cross after Jesus. ALEXANDER A member of the court that tried Peter and John (Acts 4:6); some identify him with Alexander Lysimachus the brother of Philo and friend of Claudius before he ascended the throne. ALEXANDER A Jew or a Jewish Christian (Acts 19:33-34) who attempted to defend St. Paul in his Ephesian difficulty — some identify him with the son of Simon of Cyrene. ALEXANDER An Ephesian Christian who apostatized (1 Timothy 1:20), and who together vith Hymeneus was delivered up to Satan by the Apostles. ALEXANDER A coppersmith of Ephesus (2 Timothy 4:14-15), who did much evil to St. Paul. Some identify him with the Alexander mentioned under the preceding number. ABOUT THIS PAGE APA citation.
