89 BCE

Seleucid ruler Demetrius III had defeated the Hasmonean king Alexander Jannaeus in battle, but the hostility of the Jewish population had forced him to withdraw.

While attempting to dethrone his brother, Philip I Philadelphus, he is defeated by the Arabs and the Parthian Empire, and taken prisoner.

He will be kept in confinement in Parthia by Mithridates II until his death in 88.
