The End of Worldly Ambition
Isaiah 37:38
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god…


Take the greatest rulers that ever sat upon a throne. Alexander, who wept because there were no more nations left to conquer, at last set fire to a city and died in debauch. Hannibal died from poison administered by himself. Caesar, having conquered three hundred cities, was stabbed by his best friends.

(G. S. Bowes.).
