Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 11:17

_ _ set his facepurpose steadfastly. Antiochus purpose was, however, turned from open assault to wile, by his war with the Romans in his endeavor to extend his kingdom to the limits it had under Seleucus Nicator.

_ _ upright oneJasher, or Jeshurun (Deuteronomy 32:15; Isaiah 44:2); the epithet applied by the Hebrews to their nation. It is here used not in praise; for in Daniel 11:14 (see on Daniel 11:14) they are called “robbers,” or “men of violence, factious”: it is the general designation of Israel, as having God for their God. Probably it is used to rebuke those who ought to have been God’s “upright ones” for confederating with godless heathen in acts of violence (the contrast to the term in Daniel 11:14 favors this).

_ _ thus shall he do — Instead of at once invading Ptolemy’s country with his “whole strength,” he prepares his way for doing so by the following plan: he gives to Ptolemy Epiphanes his daughter Cleopatra in marriage, promising Coelo-Syria and Judea as a dowry, thus securing his neutrality in the war with Rome: he hoped through his daughter to obtain Syria, Cilicia, and Lycia, and even Egypt itself at last; but Cleopatra favored her husband rather than her father, and so defeated his scheme [Jerome]. “She shall not stand on his side.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Daniel 11:5-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Daniel 11:17

He shall also set his face — He shall use all the force he can to master Egypt, and engross it to himself. Upright ones — Many of the religious Jews joined with him: the rest of his army was a profane rabble of rude Heathens. He shall give — Antiochus shall give Cleopatra his daughter to young Ptolemy, called the daughter of women, for her beauty. Corrupting her — Persuading her to betray her husband: but she stuck to her husband's interest, and not her father's.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Daniel 11:17

He shall also (g) set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the (h) daughter of women, corrupting (i) her: but (k) she shall not stand [on his side], neither be for him.

(g) This was the second battle that Antiochus fought against Ptolemais Epiphanes.

(h) That is, a beautiful woman who was Cleopatra, Antiochus' daughter.

(i) For he did not regard the life of his daughter in respect of the kingdom of Egypt.

(k) She will not agree to his wicked counsel, but will love her husband, as her duty requires, and not seek his destruction.
