Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 11:12

12 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up , and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.

He might have conquer'd and recover'd all again, but he grew proud of his Victory, and returned again to his Luxury. Entering Iudea he entred into the Temple of God at Ier[illegible: 1 letter]salem and the holy place against the Law; yet though [illegible: 1 letter]e cast down many thousands, he was not strengthened by it.
