Daniel 11:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 11:10

8 And he shall also carry their gods captive to Egypt, with their¹ princes and their precious articles of silver and gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the North.

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.

16 But he who comes against him ^ashall do according to his own will, and ^bno one shall stand against him. He shall stand in the Glorious Land with destruction in his¹ power.

17 “He shall also ^aset his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and¹ upright ones with him; thus shall he do. And he shall give him the daughter of women to destroy it; but she shall not stand with him, ^bor be for him.

18 After this he shall turn his face to the coastlands, and shall take many. But a ruler shall bring the reproach against them to an end; and with the reproach removed, he shall turn back on him.
