20. Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom:
his son Seleucus Philopater, who sent out Heliodorus and taxed the temples as well as the people
but within a few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
Seleucus shortly after, died in a mysterious manner.
21. And in his estate shall stand up a vile person,
Antiochus Epiphanes
to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22. And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
Onias III, the high priest was put to death by his order.
