Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 11:27

27 And both these kings hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table , but it shall not prosper ; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed .

They shall meet under pretence of Peace, but with treacherous intents on both sides; they both plaid the Gipsies with each other at Memphis, where Ptolomy invited Antiochus to a feast, these interviews of Neighbour Kings jealous one of another, have ever proved fatal; though under the smoothest promises.

For neither shall Antiochus gain Aegypt by all his Artifice, nor Ptolomy Syria.

Viz. By the Lord whose purpose and counsel shall stand, whatever the devices of mens Hearts are.

Marginal references: Heb. their hearts.
