Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 10:13

_ _ prince of ... Persia — the angel of darkness that represented the Persian world power, to which Israel was then subject. This verse gives the reason why, though Daniel’s “words were heard from the first day” (Daniel 10:12), the good angel did not come to him until more than three weeks had elapsed (Daniel 10:4).

_ _ one and twenty days — answering to the three weeks of Daniel’s mourning (Daniel 10:2).

_ _ Michael — that is, “Who is like God?” Though an archangel, “one of the chief princes,” Michael was not to be compared to God.

_ _ help me — Michael, as patron of Israel before God (Daniel 10:21; Daniel 12:1), “helped” to influence the Persian king to permit the Jews’ return to Jerusalem.

_ _ I remainedI was detained there with the kings of Persia, that is, with the angel of the Persian rulers, with whom I had to contend, and from whom I should not have got free, but for the help of Michael. Gesenius translates, “I obtained the ascendency,” that is, I gained my point against the adverse angel of Persia, so as to influence the Persian authorities to favor Israel’s restoration.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Daniel 10:10-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Daniel 10:13

Withstood me — God suffered the wicked counsels of Cambyses to take place awhile; but Daniel by his prayers, and the angel by his power, overcame him at last: and this very thing laid a foundation of the ruin of the Persian monarchies. Michael — Michael here is commonly supposed to mean Christ. I remained — To counter — work their designs against the people of God.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Daniel 10:13

But the (h) prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, (i) Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

(h) Meaning Cambyses, who reigned in his father's absence, and did not only for this time hinder the building of the temple, but would have further raged, if God had not sent me to resist him: and therefore I have stayed for the profit of the Church.

(i) Even though God could by one angel destroy all the world, yet to assure his children of his love he sends forth double power, even Michael, that is, Christ Jesus the head of angels.
