11:14. And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the
south, and the children of prevaricators of thy people shall lift up
themselves to fulfil the vision, and they shall fall.
11:15. And the king of the north shall come, and shall cast up a mount,
and shall take the best fenced citits: and the arms of the south shall
not withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up to resist, and they
shall not have strength.
11:16. And he shall come upon him, and do according to his pleasure, and
there shall be none to stand against his face: and he shall stand in the
glorious land, and it shall be consumed by his hand.
He shall come upon him... Viz., Antiochus shall come upon the king of
the south.-Ibid. The glorious land... Judea.
11:17. And he shall set his face to come to possess all his kingdom, and
he shall make upright conditions with him: and he shall give him a
daughter of women, to overthrow it: and she shall not stand, neither
shall she be for him.
All his kingdom... Viz., all the kingdom of Ptolemeus Epiphanes, son of
Philopator.-Ibid. A daughter of women... That is, a most beautiful
woman, viz., his daughter Cleopatra.-Ibid. To overthrow it... Viz., the
kingdom of Epiphanes: but his policy shall not succeed; for Cleopatra
shall take more to heart the interest of her husband, than that of her
father.
11:18. And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many:
and he shall cause the prince of his reproach to cease, and his reproach
shall be turned upon him.
The prince of his reproach... Seipio the Roman general, called the
prince of his reproach, because he overthrew Antiochus, and obliged him
to submit to very dishonourable terms, before he would cease from the
war.
11:19. And he shall turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he
shall stumble, and fall, ans shall not be found.
11:20. And there shall stand up in his place one most vile, and unworthy
of kingly honour: and in a few days he shall be destroyed, not in rage
nor in battle.
One most vile... Seleucus Philopator, who sent Heliodorus to plunder the
temple: and was shortly after slain by the same Heliodorus.
11:21. And there shall stand up in his place one despised, and the
kingly honour shall not be given him: and he shall come privately, and
shall obtain the kingdom by fraud.
One despised... Viz., Antiochus Epiphanes, who at first was despised and
not received for king. What is here said of this prince, is accommodated
by St. Jerome and others to Antichrist; of whom this Antiochus was a
figure.
11:22. And the arms of the fighter shall be overcome before his face,
and shall be broken: yea, also the prince of the covenant.
Of the fighter... That is, of them that shall oppose him, and shall
fight against him.-Ibid. The prince of the covenant... or, of the
league. The chief of them that conspired against him: or the king of
Egypt his most powerful adversary.
11:23. And after friendships, he will deal deceitfully with him: and he
shall go up, and shall overcome with a small people.
11:24. And he shall enter into rich and plentiful cities: and he shall
do that which his fathers never did, nor his fathers' fathers: he shall
scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and shall
forecast devices against the best fenced places: and this until a time.
11:25. And his strength, and his heart, shall be stirred up aginst the
king of the south, with a great army: and the king of the south shall be
stirred up to battle with many and very strong succours: and they shall
not stand, for they shall form designs against him.
The king... Ptolemeus Philometor.
11:26. And they that eat bread with him, shall destroy him, and his army
shall be overthrown: and many shall fall down slain.
