So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
Antiochus the Great will burst forth and take the fortified cities, actually, cities plural, those he had lost before, and arrive at Raphia in Egypt. The arms of Egypt cannot stand against him, their levies have no courage; Scopas, sent with great forces, was vanquished and had no will to persist.
AI summary
Two great kingdoms rose from Alexander's remains: Egypt under Ptolemy and Syria under Seleucus, who became the mightier. Both pressed hard against Judah until they tried to bind themselves by marriage, iron and clay that would not hold together.

Commenting on Daniel 11:5-20
Antiochus the Great comes and casts up siege mounts to take the most fortified cities of Coelesyria that Scopas had seized. He defeats Scopas at the fountains of Jordan, destroys his forces, recovers those cities, subdues Samaria, and all the forces of Egypt, their mightiest armies and most valiant soldiers, cannot withstand him.
