Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 11:20

_ _ in his estate — in Antiochus’ stead: his successor, Seleucus Philopater, his son.

_ _ in the glory of the kingdom — that is, inheriting it by hereditary right. Maurer translates, “one who shall cause the tax gatherer (Heliodorus) to pass through the glory of the kingdom,” that is, Judea, “the glorious land” (Daniel 11:16, Daniel 11:41; Daniel 8:9). Simon, a Benjamite, in spite against Onias III, the high priest, gave information of the treasures in the Jewish temple; and Seleucus having reunited to Syria Coelo-Syria and Palestine, the dowry formerly given by Antiochus the Great to Cleopatra, Ptolemy’s wife, sent Heliodorus to Jerusalem to plunder the temple. This is narrated in 2 Maccabees 3:4, etc. Contrast Zechariah 9:8, “No oppressor shall pass through ... any more.”

_ _ within few days ... destroyed — after a reign of twelve years, which were “few” compared with the thirty-seven years of Antiochus’ reign. Heliodorus, the instrument of Seleucus’ sacrilege, was made by God the instrument of his punishment. Seeking the crown, in the absence at Rome of Seleucus’ only son and heir, Demetrius, he poisoned Seleucus. But Antiochus Epiphanes, Seleucus’ brother, by the help of Eumenes, king of Pergamos, succeeded to the throne, 175 b.c.

_ _ neither in anger, nor in battle — not in a popular outbreak, nor in open battle.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Daniel 11:5-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Daniel 11:20

A raiser of taxes — Seleucus Philopator, who peeled his subjects, and spared not to rob the temple. Within few days — For he lived not out the third part of his father's reign. Not in battle — Not by open force, but by poison.
