return--renew the war.
after certain years--fourteen years after his defeat at Raphia. Antiochus, after successful campaigns against Persia and India, made war with Ptolemy Epiphanes, son of Philopater, a mere child. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
For the king of the north shall return - That is, he shall come again into the regions of Coelo-Syria and Palestine, to recover them if possible from the power of the Egyptian king.
And shall set forth a multitude greater than the former - Than he had in the former war when he was defeated. The fact was, that Antiochus, in this expedition, brought with him the forces with which he had successfully invaded the East, and the army had been raised for that purpose, and was much larger than that with which he had formerly attacked Ptolemy. See Prideaux, iii. 163-165.
And shall certainly come after certain years with a great army - This occurred 203 b.c., fourteen years after the former war. - Prideaux, iii. 19.
With much riches - Obtained in his conquests in Parthia and other portions of the East. See Prideaux, "ut supra." The "history" of Antiochus corresponds precisely with the statement here. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
This thought is expanded and proved in these verses. - Dan 11:13. The king of the north returns to his own land, gathers a host together more numerous than before, and shall then, at the end of the times of years, come again with a more powerful army and with a great train. רכוּשׁ, that which is acquired, the goods, is the train necessary for the suitable equipment of the army-"the condition to a successful warlike expedition" (Kran.). The definition of time corresponding to the בּעתּים in Dan 11:6 is specially to be observed: שׁנים העתּים לקץ הע (at the end of times, years), in which שׁנים is to be interpreted (as ימים with שׁבעים, Dan 10:3-4, and other designations of time) as denoting that the `itiym stretch over years, are times lasting during years. העתּים, with the definite article, are in prophetic discourse the times determined by God.
Dan 11:14
In those times shall many rise up against the king of the south (על עמד as Dan 8:20); also עמך פריצי בּני, the violent people of the nation (of the Jews), shall raise themselves against him. פריצים .mih ts בּני are such as belong to the classes of violent men who break through the barriers of the divine law (Eze 18:10). These shall raise themselves חזון להעמיד, to establish the prophecy, i.e., to bring it to an accomplishment. ha`amiyd = qayeem, Eze 13:6, as עמד = קוּם in Daniel, and generally in the later Hebrew. Almost all interpreters since Jerome have referred this to Daniel's vision of the oppression under Antiochus Epiphanes, Dan 8:9-14, Dan 11:23. This is so far right, as the apostasy of one party among the Jews from the law of their fathers, and their adoption of heathen customs, contributed to bring about that oppression with which the theocracy was visited by Antiochus Epiphanes; but the limiting of the חזון to those definite prophecies is too narrow. חזון without the article is prophecy in undefined generality, and is to be extended to all the prophecies which threatened the people of Israel with severe chastisements and sufferings on account of their falling away from the law and their apostasy from their God. ונכשׁלוּ, they shall stumble, fall. "The falling away shall bring to them no gain, but only the sufferings and tribulation prophesied of" (Kliefoth).
Dan 11:15
In this verse, with ויבא the בּוא eht וי יבוא, Dan 11:13, is again assumed, and the consequence of the war announced. סוללה שׁפך, to heap up an entrenchment; cf. Eze 4:2; Kg2 19:32. מבצרות עיר, city of fortifications, without the article, also collectively of the fortresses of the kingdom of the south generally. Before such power the army, i.e., the war-strength, of the south shall not maintain its ground; even his chosen people shall not possess strength necessary for this. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| The king of the north shall return - after certain years - In about fourteen years Antiochus did return, Philopater being dead, and his son Ptolemy Epiphanes being then a minor. He brought a much larger army and more riches; these he had collected in a late eastern expedition. |
32 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] concerning the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], He shall not come [0935] into this city [05892], nor shoot [03384] an arrow [02671] there, nor come before [06923] it with shield [04043], nor cast [08210] a bank [05550] against it.
2 And lay [05414] siege [04692] against it, and build [01129] a fort [01785] against it, and cast [08210] a mount [05550] against it; set [05414] the camp [04264] also against it, and set [07760] battering rams [03733] against it round about [05439].
13 For the king [04428] of the north [06828] shall return [07725], and shall set forth [05975] a multitude [01995] greater [07227] than the former [07223], and shall certainly [0935] come [0935] after [07093] certain [06256] years [08141] with a great [01419] army [02428] and with much [07227] riches [07399].
15 So the king [04428] of the north [06828] shall come [0935], and cast up [08210] a mount [05550], and take [03920] the most fenced [04013] cities [05892]: and the arms [02220] of the south [05045] shall not withstand [05975], neither his chosen [04005] people [05971], neither shall there be any strength [03581] to withstand [05975].
23 And after the league [02266] made with him he shall work [06213] deceitfully [04820]: for he shall come up [05927], and shall become strong [06105] with a small [04592] people [01471].
9 And out of one [0259] of them came forth [03318] a little [04704] horn [07161], which waxed exceeding [03499] great [01431], toward the south [05045], and toward the east [04217], and toward the pleasant [06643] land.
10 And it waxed great [01431], even to the host [06635] of heaven [08064]; and it cast down [05307] some of the host [06635] and of the stars [03556] to the ground [0776], and stamped [07429] upon them.
11 Yea, he magnified [01431] himself even to the prince [08269] of the host [06635], and by him the daily [08548] sacrifice was taken away [07311] [07311], and the place [04349] of his sanctuary [04720] was cast down [07993].
12 And an host [06635] was given [05414] him against the daily [08548] sacrifice by reason of transgression [06588], and it cast down [07993] the truth [0571] to the ground [0776]; and it practised [06213], and prospered [06743].
13 Then I heard [08085] one [0259] saint [06918] speaking [01696], and another [0259] saint [06918] said [0559] unto that certain [06422] saint which spake [01696], How long shall be the vision [02377] concerning the daily [08548] sacrifice, and the transgression [06588] of desolation [08074], to give [05414] both the sanctuary [06944] and the host [06635] to be trodden under foot [04823]?
14 And he said [0559] unto me, Unto two thousand [0505] and three [07969] hundred [03967] days [06153] [01242]; then shall the sanctuary [06944] be cleansed [06663].
6 They have seen [02372] vanity [07723] and lying [03577] divination [07081], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] saith [05002]: and the LORD [03068] hath not sent [07971] them: and they have made others to hope [03176] that they would confirm [06965] the word [01697].
10 If he beget [03205] a son [01121] that is a robber [06530], a shedder [08210] of blood [01818], and that doeth [06213] the like [0251] to any one [0259] of these things,
20 The ram [0352] which thou sawest [07200] having [01167] two horns [07161] are the kings [04428] of Media [04074] and Persia [06539].
14 And in those times [06256] there shall many [07227] stand up [05975] against the king [04428] of the south [05045]: also the robbers [01121] [06530] of thy people [05971] shall exalt [05375] themselves to establish [05975] the vision [02377]; but they shall fall [03782].
3 I ate [0398] no pleasant [02532] bread [03899], neither came [0935] flesh [01320] nor wine [03196] in my mouth [06310], neither did I anoint [05480] myself at all [05480], till three [07969] whole [03117] weeks [07620] were fulfilled [04390].
4 And in the four [0702] and twentieth [06242] day [03117] of the first [07223] month [02320], as I was by the side [03027] of the great [01419] river [05104], which is Hiddekel [02313];
6 And in the end [07093] of years [08141] they shall join themselves together [02266]; for the king's [04428] daughter [01323] of the south [05045] shall come [0935] to the king [04428] of the north [06828] to make [06213] an agreement [04339]: but she shall not retain [06113] the power [03581] of the arm [02220]; neither shall he stand [05975], nor his arm [02220]: but she shall be given up [05414], and they that brought [0935] her, and he that begat [03205] her, and he that strengthened [02388] her in these times [06256].
13 For the king [04428] of the north [06828] shall return [07725], and shall set forth [05975] a multitude [01995] greater [07227] than the former [07223], and shall certainly [0935] come [0935] after [07093] certain [06256] years [08141] with a great [01419] army [02428] and with much [07227] riches [07399].
