Next in Russian chronographs follow the supposedly Egyptian kings, but in reality not Egyptian, but Syrian, who reigned in the great Antioch, who took Jerusalem from the Egyptian region and subjugated it to their power. Jerusalem, being in the middle between Egypt and Syria, was the cause of frequent wars between the Kings of Egypt and Syria. For each of them desired to possess Jerusalem; and sometimes the Egyptian, and sometimes the Syrian kings owned Jerusalem, taking it away from one another by war. After the above-mentioned Egyptian Ptolemies, the Russian chronographs indicate the following Syrian kings who owned Jerusalem and mixed with the Egyptian ones: Seleucus, the son of Antiochus the Great (2 Mac. 3:3), possessed Jerusalem for years: Russian - 20, Romans - 12.
