Daniel 11:24
_ _ peaceably — literally, “unexpectedly”; under the guise of friendship he seized Ptolemy Philometer.
_ _ he shall do that which his fathers have not done — His predecessors, kings of Syria, had always coveted Egypt, but in vain: he alone made himself master of it.
_ _ scatter among them ... prey — among his followers (1 Maccabees 1:19).
_ _ forecast his devices against ... strongholds — He shall form a studied scheme for making himself master of the Egyptian fortresses. He gained them all except Alexandria, which successfully resisted him. Retaining to himself Pelusium, he retired to Judea, where, in revenge for the joy shown by the Jews at the report of his death, which led them to a revolt, he subdued Jerusalem by storm or stratagem.
_ _ for a time — His rage shall not be for ever; it is but for a time limited by God. Calvin makes “for a time” in antithesis to “unexpectedly,” in the beginning of the verse. He suddenly mastered the weaker cities: he had to “forecast his plans” more gradually (“for a time”) as to how to gain the stronger fortresses. |
Daniel 11:24
He shall enter peaceably — He shall come in upon the Egyptians under pretence of peace, in a plentiful and delicious country, and among a mass of treasures which the kings successively had heaped up; the greatest part of which Antiochus distributed among his confidants, whereby he obliged them the faster to him. He did herein what his fathers had not done; the kings of Syria before him, could never attain to this success over Egypt. Against the strong — holds — Having succeeded thus far, he shall proceed to the places of greatest strength in that kingdom. For a time — That is 'till God put a stop to his career, for the Egyptians found means to deliver themselves from his yoke. |
Daniel 11:24
He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do [that] which his fathers (z) have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: [yea], and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a (a) time.
(z) Meaning, in Egypt.
(a) He will content himself with the small strongholds for a time, but will always labour by craft to attain to the chiefest. |
- peaceably even upon the fattest:
- or, into the peaceable and fat, etc
|
- he shall scatter:
Judges 9:4 And they gave him threescore and ten [pieces] of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.
Proverbs 17:8 A gift [is as] a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
Proverbs 19:6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man [is] a friend to him that giveth gifts.

Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart [is] not with thee.
Ezekiel 38:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, [that] at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
Matthew 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
