his sons—the two sons of the king of the north, Seleucus Callinicus, upon his death by a fall from his horse, namely, Seleucus Ceraunus and Antiochus the Great.

pass through—like an "overflowing" torrent (Daniel 11:22, Daniel 11:26, Daniel 11:40; Isaiah 8:8). Antiochus penetrated to Dura (near Cæsarea), where he gave Ptolemy a four months' truce.
return—renew the war at the expiration of the truce (so Daniel 11:13).
even to his fortress—Ptolemy's; Raphia, a border-fortress of Egypt against incursions by way of Edom and Arabia-Petræa, near Gaza; here Antiochus was vanquished.
