Daniel 8:10

8:10 It grew so big it reached the army 1  of heaven, and it brought about the fall of some of the army and some of the stars 2  to the ground, where it trampled them.

1 tn Traditionally, “host.” The term refers to God’s heavenly angelic assembly, which he sometimes leads into battle as an army.

2 sn In prescientific Israelite thinking the stars were associated with the angelic members of God’s heavenly assembly. See Judg 5:20; Job 38:7; Isa 40:26. In west Semitic mythology the stars were members of the high god’s divine assembly (see Isa 14:13).
