Context — The Struggles of Kingsgenerated
Daniel 11:12 describes a time of conflict where the king of the South, after experiencing a military success, becomes proud and defeats many but ultimately fails to secure lasting victory. This verse highlights the transient nature of pride and success in the face of greater challenges, as seen in the broader context of Daniel 11:11 and Daniel 11:13.

The Key Word — יָעֽוֹז, ya.'ozgenerated
The Hebrew verb עָזַז (azaz) means to be strong or to prevail. It can indicate a literal strength or a figurative sense of prevailing in a situation. The parsing as a Qal imperfect third person masculine singular suggests an ongoing or future action, indicating that the king will not achieve lasting strength despite his temporary victories.
This verb appears in contexts where strength is crucial, often relating to God empowering individuals or nations. In this verse, it underscores the futility of pride in the face of divine oversight.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verbs govern the structure of the verse: נִשָּׂא, it will be carried off, רָם, it will be lifted up, and הִפִּיל, he will make fall. These verbs create a sequence of actions that describe the king's pride and subsequent actions.
The sentence follows a straightforward structure with the subject and actions clearly laid out, allowing for a logical progression of thought from the king's pride to his failure.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew נִשָּׂא is rendered as λήψεται, indicating a taking or receiving, which emphasizes the act of being carried off rather than simply lifted. This choice highlights the significance of the army's removal in the narrative.
The translation of יָעֽוֹז as φοβηθῇ suggests a shift towards a fear-based interpretation of strength, indicating that the king's confidence may lead to fear rather than true power.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Daniel 11:12 tells us that when the army is taken away, the king of the South will become proud and defeat many, but he will not succeed in the end. This shows how pride can lead to downfall, even when one seems to have the upper hand.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It indicates that the king will have an inflated sense of self-importance, believing he is invincible after his victories.
Despite his pride and initial successes, he will ultimately face greater challenges that he cannot overcome.
It reflects the theme of divine sovereignty over earthly powers, showing that pride and human strength are ultimately futile.
We can learn that relying on pride and strength can lead to failure, and humility is often a wiser path.

The verse might mean, “And the multitude is lifted up—i.e., takes courage—and its heart is exalted,” or, “when the multitude takes courage the king’s heart is exalted.” The English translation is most in accordance with the context, but the second rendering is preferred by many, according to which the king’s courage and pride increase as he perceives the mightiness of his troops. The LXX. follow a different reading throughout the verse. And he shall cast down.—These words describe the victory of the southern king…
