====Ptolemy IV Philopator and the Jews====
As king of Egypt, Ptolemy IV ruled over the land of Israel.
 
According to 3 Maccabees, in the aftermath of the battle of Raphia Ptolemy IV visited Jerusalem, where he made an attempt to enter the Temple. Back in Alexandria the king was protagonist of a persecution against the local Jewish population. In both cases, his wishes and orders could not be carried out only because of divine intervention.

====Josephus, Jewish Antiquities====
 
Ant XII 3:3 -- ''Now it happened that in the reign of [[Antiochus the Great]], who ruled over all Asia, that the Jews, as well as the inhabitants of Celesyria, suffered greatly, and their land was sorely harassed; for while he was at war with Ptolemy [IV] Philopater, and with his son, who was called [[Ptolemy V Epiphanes|Epiphanes]], it fell out that these nations were equally sufferers, both when he was beaten, and when he beat the others: so that they were very like to a ship in a storm, which is tossed by the waves on both sides; and just thus were they in their situation in the middle between [[Antiochus the Great|Antiochus]]'s prosperity and its change to adversity.''
