Daniel 11:15

Context
11:15 Then the king of the north will advance and will build siege mounds and capture a well-fortified city. 1  The forces of the south will not prevail, not even his finest contingents. 2  They will have no strength to prevail.

1 sn This well-fortified city is apparently Sidon. Its capture from the Ptolemies by Antiochus the Great was a strategic victory for the Seleucid kingdom.

2 tn Or “choice troops” (BDB 104 s.v. מִבְחָר), or “elite troops” (HALOT 542 s.v. מִבְחָר).
