Description:
Daniel 11:6-8
In 246 BC, when Ptolemy died, Antiochus II took up again with his first wife, Laodice.
Antiochus died shortly thereafter, many suspect from poisoning.
Queen Berenice claimed the regency for her infant son Antiochus however, she and her son were both killed by Laodice.
- Berenice was put to death by the orders of Laodice and also all of Berenice’s Egyptian attendants that she had with her.
Berenice's brother, Ptolemy III Euergetes, succeeded their father and set about to avenge his sister's murder by invading Syria and having Laodice killed.
"...and having made the local dynasts (τοὺς μονάρχους) in all these regions his vassals, he crossed the river Euphrates, and having brought under him Mesopotamia and Babylonia and Susiana and Persis and Media, and all the rest as far as Bactria, and having sought out whatever sacred things had been carried off by the Persians from Egypt, and having brought them back with the other treasure from these countries to Egypt, he sent forces through the canals —" Cosmas Indicopleustes
