Commentary on Daniel 11:12
Theological / DevotionalHe. That is, Ptolemy IV.
Not be strengthened. Indolent and dissolute, Ptolemy failed to make the best of his victory at Raphia. In the meantime, during the years 212-204 B.C. Antiochus III turned his energies to recovering his eastern territories, and campaigned successfully as far as the border of India. Ptolemy IV’s death (205? B.C.) was concealed for some time; then a son, aged four or five, succeeded him as Ptolemy V Epiphanes (204-180 B.C.).
