Daniel 11:9

King of the south. The Hebrew here may be understood either as in the KJV, where “king of the south” is taken as the subject of the sentence (so also Vulgate, Syriac), or as in the LXX, Theodotion, ASV, and RSV, where “king of the south” is attached to “kingdom.” The latter versions support the reading, “He will come into the kingdom of the king of the south.” This translation seems preferable because it follows more naturally the Hebrew word order; it does not necessitate the insertion of the word “his” before kingdom, and it makes the verse more meaningful and less redundant. If this translation is accepted, the verse is doubtless to be interpreted as a reference to the fact that after Ptolemy III had returned to Egypt, Seleucus re-established his authority and marched against that country, hoping to retrieve his riches and regain his prestige.

Return into his own land. Seleucus was defeated and forced to return to Syria empty-handed (about 240 B.C.).
