Daniel 11:11

Compare all

9 “Also the king of the North shall come to the kingdom of the king of the South, but shall return to his own land.

10 However his sons shall stir up strife, and assemble a multitude of great forces; and one shall certainly come ^aand overwhelm and pass through; then he shall return ^bto his fortress and stir up strife.

11 “And the king of the South shall be ^amoved with rage, and go out and fight with him, with the king of the North, who shall muster a great multitude; but the ^bmultitude shall be given into the hand of his enemy.

12 When he has taken away the multitude, his heart will be¹ lifted up; and he will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not prevail.

13 For the king of the North will return and muster a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come at the end of some years with a great army and much equipment.

14 “Now in those times many shall rise up against the king of the South. Also,¹ violent men of your people shall exalt themselves² in fulfillment of the vision, but they shall ^afall.

15 So the king of the North shall come and ^abuild a siege mound, and take a fortified city; and the¹ forces of the South shall not withstand him. Even his choice troops shall have no strength to resist.

Daniel 11:11

The king of the south - Ptolemy Philopater, who succeeded his father Euergetes.

Shall come forth and fight with him - He did come forth to Raphia, where he was met by Antiochus, when a terrible battle was fought between these two kings.

And he (Antiochus, the king of the north) shall set forth a great multitude - Amounting to sixty-two thousand foot, six thousand horse, and one hundred and two elephants; but yet the multitude was given into his hand, the hand of the king of the south; for Ptolemy gained a complete victory. Raphia, and other neighbouring towns, declared for the victor; and Antiochus was obliged to retreat with his scattered army to Antioch, from which he sent to solicit a peace. See 3 Maccabees 1:1-6, and Polybius, lib. v.
