Context — Kings of the South and North
6After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to seal the agreement. But his daughter will not retain her position of power, nor will his strength endure. At that time she will be given up, along with her royal escort and her father and the one who supported her.
7But one from her family line will rise up in his place, come against the army of the king of the North, and enter his fortress, fighting and prevailing.
8He will take even their gods captive to Egypt, with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold. For some years he will stay away from the king of the North,
9who will invade the realm of the king of the South and then return to his own land. 10But his sons will stir up strife and assemble a great army, which will advance forcefully, sweeping through like a flood, and will again carry the battle as far as his fortress.Cross References

Daniel 11:8 Summary
This verse is talking about a king who is very powerful and is able to take the valuable things from another kingdom, including their idols. He is able to do this because of his strength and wealth, but we are reminded that true power and treasure come from God, not from riches or idols (1 Timothy 6:10, Matthew 6:19-21). The king is also able to stay away from his enemies for a time, which shows his strategic thinking and patience. We can learn from this by trusting in God's power and timing, rather than our own strength and plans.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the king to take the gods of the Egyptians captive?
This means that the king will plunder the idols and treasures of Egypt, demonstrating his power over them, much like the Israelites were instructed to destroy the idols of the nations they conquered in Deuteronomy 7:5 and 12:3.
Why will the king stay away from the king of the North for some years?
The Bible does not explicitly state why, but it may be that the king is focusing on consolidating his power and wealth, or that he is waiting for a strategic moment to strike, as seen in the patient waiting of David in 1 Samuel 24:10-12 and 26:8-11.
What can we learn from the fact that the king is able to take the precious vessels of silver and gold?
This shows the wealth and power of the king, but also serves as a reminder that true treasure is not found in riches, but in a relationship with God, as taught in Matthew 6:19-21 and 1 Timothy 6:10.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the book of Daniel?
This verse is part of a larger prophecy about the kings of the North and South, and their conflicts, which ultimately point to the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of God's kingdom, as seen in Daniel 2:44 and 7:13-14.
Reflection Questions
- What are the 'gods' that the king takes captive, and what do they represent in our own lives?
- How can we, like the king, trust in God's power and provision, rather than our own strength and wealth?
- What are the 'precious vessels' in our own lives that we treasure, and how can we ensure that they are not idols that distract us from God?
- In what ways can we, like the king, be patient and wait on God's timing, rather than rushing ahead with our own plans?
Gill's Exposition on Daniel 11:8
And shall also carry captive into Egypt their gods, with their princes,.... Jerom relates, from the historians he conversed with, that Ptolemy carried captive with him into Egypt two thousand five
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 11:8
And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Daniel 11:8
With their precious vessels of silver and of gold; which with other vessels amounted to two thousand five hundred, among which were the images which Cambyses long before had carried out of Egypt into Persia; for which good act the Egyptians called this Ptolemy, Euergetes, the Benefactor. He shall continue more years than the king of the north; he continued forty-six years, and had subdued all Seleucus’ s kingdom, had he not been recalled.
Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 11:8
Daniel 11:8 And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, [and] with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue [more] years than the king of the north.Ver. 8. And shall also carry captive their gods.] Goodly gods they were the while, and likely to defend their worshippers! He brought back also the Egyptian idols, carried away by Cambyses, rather in scorn of all religion than hatred of idolatry, and was thereupon called by that superstitious people, Euergetes, that is, Benefactor. See Luke 22:25.
Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 11:8
(8) He shall continue.—Apparently the meaning is (comp. the use of the preposition in Daniel 11:31) “He shall stand on the side of [i.e., as an ally of] the northern king several years.” Others translate, “He shall abstain from the king of the north some years.” In either case the sense is nearly the same. The reference is said to be to the cessation of hostilities between Ptolemy and Seleucus, but there is nothing in these verses which leads us to infer what history states as a fact, that the northern king was completely crippled by a serious defeat, and that his fleet was dispersed by a storm.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Daniel 11:8
Verse 8. He shall continue more years] Seleucus Callinicus died (an exile) by a fall from his horse; and Ptolemy Euergetes survived him four or five years.-Bp. Newton.
Cambridge Bible on Daniel 11:8
8. And also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he bring into captivity into Egypt] The custom of carrying off the gods of a conquered nation was common in antiquity: the capture of its gods implied naturally that the nation’s strongest support had passed into the hands of the victors. Cf. Isaiah 46:1-2; Jeremiah 48:7; Jeremiah 49:3. On the present occasion Jerome, following Porphyry, states that Ptolemy brought back with him 40,000 talents of silver and 2,500 precious vessels and images of gods, among the latter being those which Cambyses had carried off from Egypt 280 years before (cf. the Canopus decree, ll. 9–10: Mahaffy, p. 230). In consequence of the recovery of these images, it was said, the Egyptians conferred upon him the title of Euergetes (‘Benefactor’). precious vessels] lit. vessels of desire: the same expression, 2 Chronicles 32:27; 2 Chronicles 36:10; Hosea 13:15; Nehemiah 2:9; Jeremiah 25:34. and he shall refrain some years from (R.V.)] i.e. desist from attacking. ‘Refrain’ is lit. stand: cf. in the Heb. Genesis 29:35, 2 Kings 4:6.
Barnes' Notes on Daniel 11:8
And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods ... - That is, their idols.
Whedon's Commentary on Daniel 11:8
8. He shall also carry away with him into Egypt “their gods, with their molten images, and with their desirable things of silver and gold; then shall he desist some years from attacking the king of
