Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 8:25

_ _ by peace — by pretending “peace” and friendship; in the midst of security [Gesenius], suddenly striking his blow (compare Note, see on Jeremiah 15:8). “A spoiler at noon-day.

_ _ also ... against the Prince of princes — not merely against the Jews (Daniel 8:11; Daniel 11:36).

_ _ broken without hand — by God’s special visitation. The stone “cut out of the mountain without hands,” that is, Christ is to smite the world power image on his feet (Daniel 2:34), that is, in its last development (compare Daniel 7:11). Antiochus’ horrible death by worms and ulcers, when on his way to Judea, intending to take vengeance for the defeat of his armies by the Maccabees, was a primary fulfillment, foreshadowing God’s judgment on the last enemy of the Jewish Church.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Daniel 8:15-27.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Daniel 8:25

By peace — Under colour of kindness. Against the prince of princes — He fought against God, affronting God's laws, profaning God's worship, and temple, and setting up the image and worship of Jupiter there. Without hand — By a disease whereof he died, 1 Macc. 6:8.
