Daniel 11:26

And they that eat of his delicacies (Daniel 1:5) shall break him some of his courtiers will be his ruin. For the expression, cf. 1 Kings 2:7, -those that eat of thy table"; break, as Daniel 11:20. The allusion may be to Eulaeus and Lenaeus, at whose ill-advised suggestion it was that Philometor was first led to think of reconquering Syria, and the former of whom, after the battle of Pelusium, persuaded the king to abandon his country. Ptolemy Macron, also, the very capable (Polyb. xxvii. 12) governor of Cyprus (though this was perhaps later), deserted to Antiochus (2Ma 10:13).

and his army shall overflow i.e. Antiochus" army. But the pronouns from Daniel 11:25 brefer all to Philometor: the verb should therefore probably be vocalized as a passive (יִשָּׁטֵף) and his army(Philometor's) shall be flooded (or swept) away; the word, as Daniel 11:22.

and many shall fall down slain cf. 1Ma 1:18, -and many fell down slain" (also of Antiochus" victories in Egypt), where the Greek (except in the tense) is exactly the same as in LXX. and Theod. here.
