This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
kingdom ... divided toward ... four winds - the fourfold division of Alexander’s kingdom at his death (Dan 8:8, Dan 8:22), after the battle of Ipsus, 301 b.c.
not to his posterity - (See on Dan 8:8; see on Dan 8:22).
nor according to his dominion - None of his successors had so wide a dominion as Alexander himself.
others besides those - besides Alexander’s sons, Hercules by Barsine, Darius’ daughter, and Alexander by Roxana, who were both slain [Maurer]. Rather, besides the four successors to the four chief divisions of the empire, there will be other lesser chiefs who shall appropriate smaller fragments of the Macedonian empire [Jerome].
