  Antiochus IV Epiphanes
Since the third son of Antiochus III was not in direct line for the Seleucid throne, he was sent to Rome as a royal hostage after his father's defeat by the Romans (189 BCE).
Torah observance was outlawed and the imperial cult brought into the Jewish temple itself with the erection of a statue of Antiochus as Zeus with a Hellenistic altar of sacrifice.
Meanwhile, the concentration of the bulk of his forces in the eastern provinces enabled the family of a Jewish priest named Mattathias to oust the Antiochene party from Jerusalem, purge the temple and begin the formation of an independent Jewish state.

 Schwartz: Antiochus IV Epiphanes in Jerusalem
If Antiochus stole the long list of central Temple items in 169, including the golden altar, the table of presentation, the candelabrum and all their ancillary vessels, not to mention all the other vessels and gold he could find, there wouldn’t have been much left to take in 168.
For after reporting that all the central Temple vessels were stolen in 169, it goes on to resume the story with “two years later” Antiochus sending a new governor to Jerusalem and trouble beginning in the wake of that.
So we conclude, with Tcherikover, that non-Hasmonean Jews rebelled against Seleucid rule in 168 BCE, and that it was their rebellion which elicited Antiochus’ massive attack on Jerusalem, the massacre and enslavement of multitudes of Jerusalemites, and the pillage of the Temple.
