Daniel 11:6
_ _ in ... end of years — when the predicted time shall be consummated (Daniel 11:13, Margin; Daniel 8:17; Daniel 12:13).
_ _ king’s daughter of the south — Berenice, daughter of Ptolemy Philadelphus of Egypt. The latter, in order to end his war with Antiochus Theus, “king of the north” (literally, “midnight”: the prophetical phrase for the region whence came affliction to Israel, Jeremiah 1:13-15; Joel 2:20), that is, Syria, gave Berenice to Antiochus, who thereupon divorced his former wife, Laodice, and disinherited her son, Seleucus Callinicus. The designation, “king of the north” and “of the south,” is given in relation to Judea, as the standpoint. Egypt is mentioned by name (Daniel 11:8, Daniel 11:42), though Syria is not; because the former was in Daniel’s time a flourishing kingdom, whereas Syria was then a mere dependency of Assyria and Babylon: an undesigned proof of the genuineness of the Book of Daniel.
_ _ agreement — literally, “rights,” that is, to put things to rights between the belligerents.
_ _ she shall not retain the power of the arm — She shall not be able to effect the purpose of the alliance, namely, that she should be the mainstay of peace. Ptolemy having died, Antiochus took back Laodice, who then poisoned him, and caused Berenice and her son to be put to death, and raised her own son, Seleucus Nicator, to the throne.
_ _ neither shall he stand — The king of Egypt shall not gain his point of setting his line on the throne of Syria.
_ _ his arm — that on which he relied. Berenice and her offspring.
_ _ they that brought her — her attendants from Egypt.
_ _ he that begat her — rather as Margin, “the child whom she brought forth” [Ewald]. If English Version (which Maurer approves) be retained, as Ptolemy died a natural death, “given up” is not in his case, as in Berenice’s, to be understood of giving up to death, but in a general sense, of his plan proving abortive.
_ _ he that strengthened her in these times — Antiochus Theus, who is to attach himself to her (having divorced Laodice) at the times predicted [Gejer]. |
Daniel 11:6
They — The successors of those first kings of Egypt and Syria. Make an agreement — Bernice shall come from Egypt and marry with Antiochus Theus, who was the son of Antiochus Soter, and nephew to Seleucus Nicanor; for her father brought her to Pelusium with an infinite sum of gold and silver for her dowry. She shall not retain — She continued not in favour and authority. Nor his arm — His power. |
Daniel 11:6
And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's (n) daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the (o) arm; neither shall (p) he stand, nor his (q) arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he (r) that begat her, and he that strengthened her in [these] times.
(n) That is, Bernice the daughter of Ptolemais Philadelphus will be given in marriage to Antiochus Theos, thinking by this affinity that Syria and Egypt would have a continual peace together.
(o) That power and strength will not continue: for soon after her husband's death, Bernice and her young son were slain by her stepson Seleicus Calinieus the son of Laodice, the lawful wife of Antiochus, but put away for this woman's sake.
(p) Neither Ptolemais nor Antiochus.
(q) Some read "seed", meaning the child begotten by Bernice.
(r) Some read, "she that begat her", and by this understand her nurse, who brought her up: so that all those who were part of this marriage were destroyed. |
