Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Daniel 11:17

He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.He shall also set his face — He shall use all the force he can to master Egypt, and engross it to himself.Upright ones — Many of the religious Jews joined with him: the rest of his army was a profane rabble of rude Heathens.He shall give — Antiochus shall give... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:6

6. This points to the close alliance between the kings of the south (the Ptolemies) and the kings of the north (the Seleucidae). As only these two empires are being spoken of they are called southern and northern with reference to their geographical relations to each other and in order that they need not be named more definitely, which would have been contrary to the best apocalyptic style. The king’s daughter of the south, who comes to make “equitable conditions” with the king of the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:7

7. This branch or “shoot” out of the ancestral roots from which Berenice came is acknowledged with general unanimity to be her brother Ptolemy Euergetes, who, having succeeded his father in his estate (or, place, as in Daniel 11:20-21; Daniel 11:38), advanced into Syria to avenge his sister, came “against the army” (R.V., margin) of the king of the north (Seleucus II), captured his capital and chief fortress, slew Laodice, and in general dealt (literally, did) with them as he wished. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:8

8. He shall also carry away with him into Egypt “their gods, with their molten images, and with their desirable things of silver and gold; then shall he desist some years from attacking the king of the north.” It is said that the silver captured amounted to forty thousand talents, and that there were two thousand five hundred of these images, including those which Cambyses had carried off from Egypt in one of his campaigns. It has been said that it was this great triumph which gained for... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:9

9. According to the A.V. this verse merely describes the triumphant return of Ptolemy to his own country. The next verse, however, shows the R.V. to be correct: “And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.” The natural style of an apocalypse, which intentionally veils its meaning to the careless reader, accounts for the sudden change of reference here without warning. According to this best text it is not Ptolemy Euergetes spoken of here,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:10

10. His sons That is, Seleucus Ceraunos and Antiochus III, the sons of Seleucus II. Ceraunos, after a reign of about three years, was killed during a campaign in Asia Minor and was succeeded by his brother Antiochus III (the Great) who for thirty-six years ruled with a strong hand (B.C. 223 to 187), conquering Parthia and Bactria, and constantly threatening Egypt and the far-distant East with his immense armies. But his sons shall be stirred up Rather, and his sons shall war. (See... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:11

11. This means that the king of the south (Ptolemy IV) the son of the Ptolemy mentioned in Daniel 11:8 stirred at last to angry activity by the aggressiveness of Antiochus III, raised an immense army, met the even greater army of the Syrian king at Raphia, and defeated it; slaughtering over ten thousand of his enemies on the battlefield, and taking four thousand prisoners. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:12

12. Rather translate, with Terry, “And the multitude shall be carried away, and his heart shall be exalted.” That is, a vast number of the soldiers of Antiochus shall be killed or taken prisoners, because of which Ptolemy IV shall be greatly puffed up, “and he shall cast down myriads; but he shall not be strong,” or “he shall not prevail” (R.V.). He was naturally a weak and sluggish king, and he failed to follow up his advantage, only acquiring a little territory and then making peace. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:13

13. Antiochus the Great, after thirteen years in which he had pushed his conquests even into Ionia (not “India,” as is generally supposed) and accumulated great wealth, gathered again an even greater army than before and moved against Egypt upon the death of the former Ptolemy and the accession of his young son, Ptolemy Epiphanes. The result was a complete victory and the annexation to the Syrian territory of the portions of Palestine and Philistia formerly claimed by Egypt. Much riches ... read more
