But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his place, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail: Daniel 11: 7 The next king of the south was Ptolemy III. The murder of Berenice, who was his sister and her children greatly enraged the Egyptian monarch and he sought to avenge their murders. He raised an army and made war on the Seleucids in the 240s BC, another one of the many Macedonian Wars fought at this time. Ptolemy IIIs forces would meet great success against the Seleucids and would succeed in driving so far into Seleucid territory that they established themselves as far east as Babylon. The king of the north at this time was Seleucus II Callinicus, successor of Antiochus II after his murder by Laodice.
