Daniel 11:4

kingdom . . . divided toward . . . four winds—the fourfold division of Alexander's kingdom at his death (Daniel 8:8, Daniel 8:22), after the battle of Ipsus, 301 BC

not to his posterity—(See on Daniel 8:8; Daniel 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].
