Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 11:1

1 ALso I in the first year of Darius the Mede , even I stood to confirm, and to strengthen him.

Thus speakes the Angel to Daniel; because Darius had the rule of Babylon by the consent of Cyrus, he settled the Monarchy of the Medes and Persians upon the Ruines of the Babylonian, for the verifying of Prophesies, and for protection and preservation of the Church.

This first verse should have been the last verse of the Tenth Chapter, for it pertains to it; and the second verse of this Chapter should have been the first; which neglect, those who divided the Scripture into Chapters have been found guilty of more than once.
