ANTIOCHUS VII
Called Antiochus Sidetes (c. 159–129 BC), was king of Syria from 139/138 to 129 BC, son of Demetrius I and brother of Demetrius II. After the capture of Demetrius II, he became the third husband of his brother’s queen Cleopatra Thea and drove the usurper Trypho from the throne (139 BC). Antiochus VII was at war with the Jews from 138 to 134, destroyed part of Jerusalem, and caused John Hyrcanus to submit to his rule. He died while fighting in the Parthian War.
