This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
the king of the south ... moved with choler - at so great losses, Syria having been wrested from him, and his own kingdom imperiled, though otherwise an indolent man, to which his disasters were owing, as also to the odium of his subjects against him for having murdered his father, mother, and brother, whence in irony they called him Philopater, “father-lover.”
he shall set forth a great multitude - Antiochus, king of Syria, whose force was seventy thousand infantry and five thousand cavalry.
but ... multitude ... given into his hand - into Ptolemy’s hands; ten thousand of Antiochus’ army were slain, and four thousand made captives.
