Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 11:31

31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength , and shall take away the daily sacrifice , and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

i. e. Antiochus shall come with armed power to assist the desertors, and force the faithful Iews by his Garrisons.

For he polluted the Sanctuary by taking away the Holy vessels, and forbidding the publick Worship, but he added a third pollution, by setting up in the Temple the abomination of desolation, i. e. The abominable Idol of Iupiter Olympius, with many more, 1 Macc. 1.21, 22, 23, 41, to the end. 2 Macc. 5.24.
