Context of Daniel 11:7

5Then the king who rules in the south will become strong. But one of his own army officers will become even stronger. That officer will rule a greater kingdom than the king of the south. 6After some years, the king of the south and the king of the north will agree to be friends. The king of the south's daughter will go to marry the king of the north. That would make their agreement strong. But the plan will fail. She will lose her authority. Her husband will no longer rule as king. Someone will kill her, her husband, her child and the servants who helped her. Later, someone from her family will become king of the south. He will attack the army of the king of the north. He will go into that king's strong city. He will win the battle against the king of the north. 8He will take the images of their gods back to Egypt with him. He will also take away valuable things that they had made from gold and silver. Then for several years, he will not attack the king of the north again. 9After that, the king of the north will take his army into the land that the king of the south rules. But they will cause him to return to his own country.

Commentaries on Daniel 11:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7But out of a branch of her roots - A branch from the same root from which she sprang.
