“For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.”
The king of the north will return and raise a multitude greater than the former, and after some years he will advance with a great army and abundant supplies—describing Antiochus III's renewed military preparation and eventual successful invasion of Egypt, recounting how repeated campaigns gradually achieved Seleucid objectives. The accumulated forces represent sustained commitment to territorial expansion. The "abundant supplies" emphasize material preparation for prolonged conflict.
