This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
carry ... into Egypt their gods, etc. - Ptolemy, on hearing of a sedition in Egypt, returned with forty thousand talents of silver, precious vessels, and twenty-four hundred images, including Egyptian idols, which Cambyses had carried from Egypt into Persia. The idolatrous Egyptians were so gratified, that they named him Euergetes, or “benefactor.”
continue more years - Ptolemy survived Seleucus four years, reigning in all forty-six years. Maurer translates, “Then he for several years shall desist from (contending with) the king of the north” (compare Dan 11:9).
