A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
vile--Antiochus called Epiphanes, that is, "the illustrious," for vindicating the claims of the royal line against Heliodorus, was nicknamed, by a play of sounds, Epimanes, that is, "the madman," for his mad freaks beneath the dignity of a king. He would carouse with the lowest of the people, bathe with them in the public baths, and foolishly jest and throw stones at passers-by [POLYBIUS, 26.10]. Hence, as also for his crafty supplanting of Demetrius, the rightful heir, from the throne, he is termed "vile."

they shall not give . . . kingdom: but . . . by flatteries--The nation shall not, by a public act, confer the kingdom on him, but he shall obtain it by artifice, "flattering" Eumenes and Attalus of Pergamos to help him, and, as he had seen candidates at Rome doing, canvassing the Syrian people high and low, one by one, with embraces [LIVY, 41.20].

1 And it came to pass after this [0310], that Absalom [053] prepared [06213] him chariots [04818] and horses [05483], and fifty [02572] men [0376] to run [07323] before [06440] him.
2 And Absalom [053] rose up early [07925], and stood [05975] beside [03027] the way [01870] of the gate [08179]: and it was so, that when any man [0376] that had a controversy [07379] came [0935] to the king [04428] for judgment [04941], then Absalom [053] called [07121] unto him, and said [0559], Of what [0335] city [05892] art thou? And he said [0559], Thy servant [05650] is of one [0259] of the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478].
3 And Absalom [053] said [0559] unto him, See [07200], thy matters [01697] are good [02896] and right [05228]; but there is no man deputed of the king [04428] to hear [08085] thee.
4 Absalom [053] said [0559] moreover, Oh that I were made [07760] judge [08199] in the land [0776], that every man [0376] which hath any suit [07379] or cause [04941] might come [0935] unto me, and I would do him justice [06663] !
5 And it was so, that when any man [0376] came nigh [07126] to him to do him obeisance [07812], he put forth [07971] his hand [03027], and took [02388] him, and kissed [05401] him.
6 And on this manner [01697] did [06213] Absalom [053] to all Israel [03478] that came [0935] to the king [04428] for judgment [04941]: so Absalom [053] stole [01589] the hearts [03820] of the men [0582] of Israel [03478].
34 Now when they shall fall [03782], they shall be holpen [05826] with a little [04592] help [05828]: but many [07227] shall cleave [03867] to them with flatteries [02519].
32 And such as do wickedly [07561] against the covenant [01285] shall he corrupt [02610] by flatteries [02514]: but the people [05971] that do know [03045] their God [0430] shall be strong [02388], and do [06213] exploits.
5 A man [01397] that flattereth [02505] his neighbour [07453] spreadeth [06566] a net [07568] for his feet [06471].
5 That they may keep [08104] thee from the strange [02114] woman [0802], from the stranger [05237] which flattereth [02505] with her words [0561].
16 To deliver [05337] thee from the strange [02114] woman [0802], even from the stranger [05237] which flattereth [02505] with her words [0561];
6 Let their way [01870] be dark [02822] and slippery [02519]: and let the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] persecute [07291] them.
6 But I am a worm [08438], and no man [0376]; a reproach [02781] of men [0120], and despised [0959] of the people [05971].
7 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the Redeemer [01350] of Israel [03478], and his Holy One [06918], to him whom man [05315] despiseth [0960], to him whom the nation [01471] abhorreth [08581], to a servant [05650] of rulers [04910], Kings [04428] shall see [07200] and arise [06965], princes [08269] also shall worship [07812], because of the LORD [03068] that is faithful [0539], and the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], and he shall choose [0977] thee.
20 Then shall stand up [05975] in his estate [03653] a raiser [05674] of taxes [05065] in the glory [01925] of the kingdom [04438]: but within few [0259] days [03117] he shall be destroyed [07665], neither in anger [0639], nor in battle [04421].
7 But out of a branch [05342] of her roots [08328] shall one stand up [05975] in his estate [03653], which shall come [0935] with an army [02428], and shall enter [0935] into the fortress [04581] of the king [04428] of the north [06828], and shall deal [06213] against them, and shall prevail [02388]:
6 And one said [0559] to the man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], which was upon [04605] the waters [04325] of the river [02975], How long shall it be to the end [07093] of these wonders [06382]?

25 And he shall stir up [05782] his power [03581] and his courage [03824] against the king [04428] of the south [05045] with a great [01419] army [02428]; and the king [04428] of the south [05045] shall be stirred up [01624] to battle [04421] with a very [03966] great [01419] and mighty [06099] army [02428]; but he shall not stand [05975]: for they shall forecast [02803] devices [04284] against him.
26 Yea, they that feed [0398] of the portion of his meat [06598] shall destroy [07665] him, and his army [02428] shall overflow [07857]: and many [07227] shall fall [05307] down slain [02491].

22 And with the arms [02220] of a flood [07858] shall they be overflown [07857] from before [06440] him, and shall be broken [07665]; yea, also the prince [05057] of the covenant [01285].

7 All the men [0582] of thy confederacy [01285] have brought [07971] thee even to the border [01366]: the men [0582] that were at peace [07965] with thee have deceived [05377] thee, and prevailed [03201] against thee; they that eat thy bread [03899] have laid [07760] a wound [04204] under thee: there is none understanding [08394] in him.
13 And there came [0935] one that had escaped [06412], and told [05046] Abram [087] the Hebrew [05680]; for he dwelt [07931] in the plain [0436] of Mamre [04471] the Amorite [0567], brother [0251] of Eshcol [0812], and brother [0251] of Aner [06063]: and these were confederate [01167] [01285] with Abram [087].

25 And through his policy [07922] also he shall cause craft [04820] to prosper [06743] in his hand [03027]; and he shall magnify [01431] himself in his heart [03824], and by peace [07962] shall destroy [07843] many [07227]: he shall also stand up [05975] against the Prince [08269] of princes [08269]; but he shall be broken [07665] without [0657] hand [03027].
25 And the LORD [03068] magnified [01431] Solomon [08010] exceedingly [04605] in the sight [05869] of all Israel [03478], and bestowed [05414] upon him such royal [04438] majesty [01935] as had not been on any king [04428] before [06440] him in Israel [03478].
6 For thou hast made [07896] him most blessed [01293] for ever [05703]: thou hast made [02302] him exceeding glad [08057] with thy countenance [06440].
23 And in the latter time [0319] of their kingdom [04438], when the transgressors [06586] are come to the full [08552], a king [04428] of fierce [05794] countenance [06440], and understanding [0995] dark sentences [02420], shall stand up [05975].
24 And his power [03581] shall be mighty [06105], but not by his own power [03581]: and he shall destroy [07843] wonderfully [06381], and shall prosper [06743], and practise [06213], and shall destroy [07843] the mighty [06099] and the holy [06918] people [05971].
25 And through his policy [07922] also he shall cause craft [04820] to prosper [06743] in his hand [03027]; and he shall magnify [01431] himself in his heart [03824], and by peace [07962] shall destroy [07843] many [07227]: he shall also stand up [05975] against the Prince [08269] of princes [08269]; but he shall be broken [07665] without [0657] hand [03027].
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]?
32 And such as do wickedly [07561] against the covenant [01285] shall he corrupt [02610] by flatteries [02514]: but the people [05971] that do know [03045] their God [0430] shall be strong [02388], and do [06213] exploits.
33 And they that understand [07919] among the people [05971] shall instruct [0995] many [07227]: yet they shall fall [03782] by the sword [02719], and by flame [03852], by captivity [07628], and by spoil [0961], many days [03117].
34 Now when they shall fall [03782], they shall be holpen [05826] with a little [04592] help [05828]: but many [07227] shall cleave [03867] to them with flatteries [02519].
35 And some of them of understanding [07919] shall fall [03782], to try [06884] them, and to purge [01305], and to make them white [03835], even to the time [06256] of the end [07093]: because it is yet for a time appointed [04150].
28 Then shall he return [07725] into his land [0776] with great [01419] riches [07399]; and his heart [03824] shall be against the holy [06944] covenant [01285]; and he shall do [06213] exploits, and return [07725] to his own land [0776].
29 At the time appointed [04150] he shall return [07725], and come [0935] toward the south [05045]; but it shall not be as the former [07223], or as the latter [0314].
30 For the ships [06716] of Chittim [03794] shall come [0935] against him: therefore he shall be grieved [03512], and return [07725], and have indignation [02194] against the holy [06944] covenant [01285]: so shall he do [06213]; he shall even return [07725], and have intelligence [0995] with them that forsake [05800] the holy [06944] covenant [01285].
31 And arms [02220] shall stand [05975] on his part, and they shall pollute [02490] the sanctuary [04720] of strength [04581], and shall take away [05493] the daily [08548] sacrifice, and they shall place [05414] the abomination [08251] that maketh desolate [08074].
32 And such as do wickedly [07561] against the covenant [01285] shall he corrupt [02610] by flatteries [02514]: but the people [05971] that do know [03045] their God [0430] shall be strong [02388], and do [06213] exploits.
25 And he shall stir up [05782] his power [03581] and his courage [03824] against the king [04428] of the south [05045] with a great [01419] army [02428]; and the king [04428] of the south [05045] shall be stirred up [01624] to battle [04421] with a very [03966] great [01419] and mighty [06099] army [02428]; but he shall not stand [05975]: for they shall forecast [02803] devices [04284] against him.
26 Yea, they that feed [0398] of the portion of his meat [06598] shall destroy [07665] him, and his army [02428] shall overflow [07857]: and many [07227] shall fall [05307] down slain [02491].
27 And both [08147] these kings [04428]' hearts [03824] shall be to do mischief [04827] [07451], and they shall speak [01696] lies [03577] at one [0259] table [07979]; but it shall not prosper [06743]: for yet the end [07093] shall be at the time appointed [04150].
21 And in his estate [03653] shall stand up [05975] a vile person [0959], to whom they shall not give [05414] the honour [01935] of the kingdom [04438]: but he shall come [0935] in peaceably [07962], and obtain [02388] the kingdom [04438] by flatteries [02519].
22 And with the arms [02220] of a flood [07858] shall they be overflown [07857] from before [06440] him, and shall be broken [07665]; yea, also the prince [05057] of the covenant [01285].
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].
24 He shall enter [0935] peaceably [07962] even upon the fattest places [04924] of the province [04082]; and he shall do [06213] that which his fathers [01] have not done [06213], nor his fathers [01]' fathers [01]; he shall scatter [0967] among them the prey [0961], and spoil [07998], and riches [07399]: yea, and he shall forecast [02803] his devices [04284] against the strong holds [04013], even for a time [06256].
21 And in his estate [03653] shall stand up [05975] a vile person [0959], to whom they shall not give [05414] the honour [01935] of the kingdom [04438]: but he shall come [0935] in peaceably [07962], and obtain [02388] the kingdom [04438] by flatteries [02519].
22 And with the arms [02220] of a flood [07858] shall they be overflown [07857] from before [06440] him, and shall be broken [07665]; yea, also the prince [05057] of the covenant [01285].
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].
24 He shall enter [0935] peaceably [07962] even upon the fattest places [04924] of the province [04082]; and he shall do [06213] that which his fathers [01] have not done [06213], nor his fathers [01]' fathers [01]; he shall scatter [0967] among them the prey [0961], and spoil [07998], and riches [07399]: yea, and he shall forecast [02803] his devices [04284] against the strong holds [04013], even for a time [06256].
25 And he shall stir up [05782] his power [03581] and his courage [03824] against the king [04428] of the south [05045] with a great [01419] army [02428]; and the king [04428] of the south [05045] shall be stirred up [01624] to battle [04421] with a very [03966] great [01419] and mighty [06099] army [02428]; but he shall not stand [05975]: for they shall forecast [02803] devices [04284] against him.
21 And in his estate [03653] shall stand up [05975] a vile person [0959], to whom they shall not give [05414] the honour [01935] of the kingdom [04438]: but he shall come [0935] in peaceably [07962], and obtain [02388] the kingdom [04438] by flatteries [02519].
