Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 11:10

10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces , and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through : then shall he return, and be stirred up even to his fortress .

He means the sons of the King of the North, i. e. Antiochus, and Seleucus Ceraunus, shall be incensed with the deeds of Ptolomeus Euergetes, and his Son Ptolomeus Philopator.

He means Antiochus the Great, because the other, viz. Seleucus Cera[illegible: 4 letters] is taken off by poison at the beginning, he shall pass through Syria and recover what the King of Egypt took from his Father.

i. e. To the entering of Egypt Raphia, which was check to any irruptions from Arabia or Idumea, besides many other places. The cause of which Success was partly the Egyptian Kings Luxury, and the hatred his people had against him for his Cruelty in slaying his Father, Mother and Sister: called Philopator ironically and reproachfully.
