Daniel 11:45

He shall plant... — For a similar prophecy, comp. Jeremiah 43:10 (where see the Targum). The king is here represented as halting while a palatial tent is being erected for him. The word “palace” is omitted by the LXX., and simply transliterated “Apedno” by St. Jerome and Theodotion, as if it were a proper name.

Between the seas — i.e., between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea.

The glorious holy mountain. — Literally, The mountain of the holy ornament, generally explained to be Mount Zion. (Comp. Psalms 48:2.) This he threatens, as once did the Assyrian (comp. Isaiah 10:32), but without success.

He shall come to his end. — It is to be remarked that the end of this king is placed in the same locality which is elsewhere predicted by the prophets as the scene of the overthrow of Antichrist (Ezekiel 39:4; Joel 3:2; Joel 3:12; Zechariah 14:2).
