 Al-Mu'azzam began a pursuit to seize him and his forces managed to halt Izz al-Din while he was on the road to Jerusalem.Al-Mu'azzam promised Izz al-Din that if he were to voluntarily surrender his fortresses he could retain his life and all of his other properties, but Izz al-Din refused—insisting on trading his "iqta'a" in Jordan for al-Fayyum—and after being captured near Darum, he and his son were immediately imprisoned in Kerak, where he finished his life in captivity.The castles of Kawkab and Ajlun were besieged, captured, and Kawkab was razed to the ground.
