Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 11:22-24

Daniel 11:22-24. And with the arms of a flood, &c.— Or rather, more agreeably to the Hebrew, And the arms of the overflower shall be, &c. The arms which were overflown before him, were those of his competitors for the crown. They were vanquished by the forces of Eumenes and Attalus, and were dissipated by the arrival of Antiochus, whose presence disconcerted all their measures. The prince also of the covenant, that is, the high-priest of the Jews, was broken. As soon as Antiochus was... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 11:21-35

The great persecution under Antiochus Epiphanes 11:21-35God gave more information about the following individual than He did about all the preceding ones combined. The reason is his devastating influence on the Jews. During his tenure as king, Syria was in decline and Rome gained power. Antiochus IV corresponds to the little horn of chapter 8 (Daniel 8:9-12; Daniel 8:23-25), and he foreshadows the little horn of chapter 7 (Daniel 7:8), Antichrist."The earlier kings are described to provide a... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 11:24

Antiochus craftily pillaged the treasures of his provinces, but not to grow rich himself as his predecessors had done. He used this wealth to bribe and manipulate other leaders to cooperate with his plans. In this way he enlarged his power base (cf. 1 Maccabees 3:30). read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Daniel 11:24

(24) Peaceably.—The subject continues to be the perfidious conduct of the king mentioned in the last two verses. While the inhabitants are expecting nothing of the sort, he enters the richest parts of the province, and while he scatters largesses with profuseness and in apparent friendship, he is really planning attacks against the fortresses of the district, endeavouring to reduce them into his power.This has been referred to the conduct of Antiochus Epiphanes, mentioned in 1Ma. 3:27-30, after... read more

Daniel 11:2 While philosophy had for the Jews no meaning, history had a deeper significance than it had for any other people. It was the chief factor in their national unity, the source from which they drew ethical and spiritual enlightenment. Thither they turned as to living oracles inscribed with the finger of the Almighty. To history they appealed as the supreme tribunal of God's justice. The great monarchies, Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, pass across the scene. Their fortunes cross and... read more

THIRD SECTION(Daniel 11:20-27)Events under Seleucus Philopator down to the first attempts of Antiochus Epiphanes against Egypt (B.C. 170).Daniel 11:20 -Seleucus Philopator (B.C. 187-176) had a character the reverse of his father’s. He was no restless seeker for glory, but desired wealth and quietness. Among the Jews, however, he had a very evil reputation, for he sent an "exactor"-a mere tax-collector, Heliodorus-"to pass through the glory of the kingdom." He only reigned twelve years, and... read more
