Daniel11:19

19 Then he shall turn his face towards the fort of his own land , but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.

Being beaten in Battle by Scipio, with 30000 Romans, he himself having 70000, and rejecting the counsel of Hannibal, he yielded upon dishonourable terms to deliver his Ships and Elephants to the Romans, and all the places he had taken from them, which turned to his disgrace: Then he turned his face homeward, and made to be content with the narrow limits of the remotest corner of his Kingdom, and though he sported himself with his retirement, yet was he not in safety so, but was slain, when he sought to enrich himself by the Sacrilegious spoiles of the Temple. Thus Antiochus called Magnus, came to nothing.
