This phrase introduces a spiritual conflict involving a "prince" who is not a human ruler but a spiritual being, likely a demonic entity assigned to Persia. The term "prince" here suggests a hierarchy among spiritual beings, paralleling the structure of earthly kingdoms. The "kingdom of Persia" refers to the Persian Empire, a dominant world power during Daniel's time. The "twenty-one days" indicates a prolonged period of spiritual warfare, corresponding to the three weeks Daniel spent in mourning and prayer (<a href="/daniel/10-2.htm">Daniel 10:2-3</a>). This suggests that Daniel's prayers were part of a larger spiritual battle. The concept of spiritual warfare is echoed in <a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm">Ephesians 6:12</a>, which speaks of struggles against spiritual forces of evil.Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, Michael is identified as "one of the chief princes," indicating his high rank among angelic beings. In <a href="/jude/1-9.htm">Jude 1:9</a>, Michael is called an archangel, reinforcing his significant role in spiritual battles. Michael's intervention suggests that he has a special responsibility for protecting God's people, as seen in <a href="/daniel/12.htm">Daniel 12:1</a>, where he stands up for the children of Israel. His assistance highlights the reality of angelic support in spiritual conflicts and the importance of divine intervention in overcoming evil forces.for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. The phrase "left there with the kings of Persia" implies that the speaker, likely the angelic messenger, was engaged in a struggle with multiple spiritual entities associated with Persia. The "kings" may refer to other spiritual powers aligned with the prince of Persia, indicating a coalition of forces opposing God's purposes. This reflects the broader theme of spiritual opposition to God's plans throughout history. The mention of being "left there" suggests a temporary stalemate until Michael's arrival, emphasizing the need for divine assistance in spiritual warfare. This aligns with the biblical theme of God's sovereignty and the ultimate triumph of His will, as seen in <a href="/revelation/12-7.htm">Revelation 12:7-9</a>, where Michael and his angels defeat the dragon and his forces.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/daniel.htm">Daniel</a> A prophet and a man of God who is receiving a vision and message from an angelic being. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_prince_of_the_kingdom_of_persia.htm">The Prince of the Kingdom of Persia</a> A spiritual being, likely a demonic force, opposing God's messenger. 3. <a href="/topical/m/michael.htm">Michael</a> An archangel, described as one of the chief princes, who comes to assist in the spiritual battle. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_kings_of_persia.htm">The Kings of Persia</a> Likely referring to spiritual entities or influences over the earthly kingdom of Persia. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_vision.htm">The Vision</a> Daniel is receiving a revelation concerning future events and spiritual realities.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/u/understanding_spiritual_warfare.htm">Understanding Spiritual Warfare</a> Recognize that there is a spiritual realm where battles are fought, influencing earthly events. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_angels.htm">The Role of Angels</a> Angels, like Michael, are active participants in God's plan, assisting and protecting believers. <a href="/topical/p/perseverance_in_prayer.htm">Perseverance in Prayer</a> Daniel's experience shows the importance of persistent prayer, even when answers are delayed. <a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty.htm">God's Sovereignty</a> Despite opposition, God's purposes will ultimately prevail, as seen in the assistance provided by Michael. <a href="/topical/a/awareness_of_spiritual_opposition.htm">Awareness of Spiritual Opposition</a> Be aware of the spiritual forces that may oppose God's work in our lives and the world.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_daniel_10.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Daniel 10</a> <a href="/q/do_angels_have_a_specific_gender.htm">Do angels have a specific gender?</a> <a href="/q/how_does_daniel_10_compare_with_other_ot_angels.htm">How does Daniel 10’s portrayal of angelic warfare align or conflict with other Old Testament depictions of angels and demons? </a> <a href="/q/what's_the_basis_for_angels_stopped_in_dan._10_13.htm">What historical or scientific basis supports the idea of angelic beings physically stopped by the “prince of Persia” in Daniel 10:13? </a> <a href="/q/who_is_angel_raphael_in_the_bible.htm">Who is Angel Raphael in the Bible?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/daniel/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(13) The prince of the kingdom.--Perhaps no single verse in the whole of the Scriptures speaks more clearly than this upon the invisible powers which rule and influence nations.

The rendering of the LXX. is, "And the general (στρατηγὸς) of the King of the Persians withstood me one and twenty days, and behold Michael, one of the first princes, came to help me, and I left him there with the general of the King of the Persians." The sense of Theedotion is nearly the same as the LXX., only he has βασιλείας Περσῶν instead of βασιλέως. Like the LXX., Thee-dotion declares that Michael was left with the Prince of Persia. The Peshitta agrees more with the Massoretic, but, like the LXX. and Theedotion, it is with the "Prince" of Persia that there is some one remaining. The Peshitta here, in opposition to the Greek versions, has the statement that Gabriel remained, not Michael. The Vulgate agrees still further with the Massoretic, only instead of the plural "kings," it has "king." The most important differences are in the last clause, where the LXX. and Theodotion must have had the hiphil of יָתִר where the Massoretic has the niphal. Gratz adopts this reading, which certainly has the advantage of making sense of an otherwise unintelligible passage. Professor Bevan, in his easy way, suggests this to be probably a mere guess, the insertion of αὐτὸν, and the substitution of a transitive for an intransitive verb are quite in the manner of the LXX. translators. He forgets that Theodotion also has this variation, and also that, without any justification from the versions, he himself has suggested various readings. He does not observe that this interpretation affords a reason for Gabriel's presence with Daniel. Michael relieved him in his opposition to the Prince of Persia. The other variant, "prince" instead of "king," has the support of all the versions. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days. That is to say, during the whole of Daniel's fast. The angelology of later Judaism is a very complicated, not to say confused, subject. The angelology of one age is not that of another; and the angelology of the Jews in one country is not that of the Jews in another. The Jews themselves understood that the Babylonian captivity did a great deal to develop the doctrine of the angels; the Jewish tradition was that they brought back from Babylon the names of the angels. Not only had their residence in Babylon defined the Jewish ideas as to the names f the angels, they began to have clearer ideas of their functions. They reached the idea that every race had its guardian angel. This view is expressed in <a href="/deuteronomy/32-8.htm">Deuteronomy 32:8</a>, according to the Septuagint, "He set bounds for the nations according to the number of the angels of God." To a similar purport is Ecclus. 17:17, "To each of the nations he appointed a leader, and Israel is the portion of the Lord." There seems, however, a preparation for this in <a href="/isaiah/24-21.htm">Isaiah 24:21</a> (comp. also <a href="/psalms/29-1.htm">Psalm 29:1</a>; <a href="/psalms/106-9.htm">Psalm 106:9</a>). As independent of revelation there is a strong inherent probability that there are races of beings of intelligence and might vastly superior to man, there is nothing inherently improbable in these intelligences being employed by the Almighty in furthering his providential scheme. Men are instruments of God; is it not at least not improbable that, if there are angels, they, too, co-operate with God in the working out of his great purpose? That every nation should have an angelic prince over it is not more extraordinary than that every Church should have a special angel over it (<a href="/revelation/1-20.htm">Revelation 1:20</a>; <a href="/revelation/2-2.htm">Revelation 2:2</a>, etc.). That there should be conflicts between these angelic princes is simply to say they are finite. Hitzig's reference to <a href="/revelation/12-7.htm">Revelation 12:7</a> is not to the point, for there is no indication of warlike opposition here. By the indications here, we might judge that the opposition of the Prince of Persia was to the coming of Gabriel to reveal to Daniel the purpose of God. We know nothing of the means employed in the opposition, or of the reason of it. Keil and Kliefoth have the idea that Gabriel was striving to influence the King of Persia, but was hindered in his efforts by the "Prince of Persia;" this is scarcely berne out by the context. But, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me. Michael ("Who is like God?") is, in the twenty-first verse, declared to be the "prince" of the Jewish people, therefore equivalent to "the captain of the host of the Lord" (<a href="/joshua/5-14.htm">Joshua 5:14</a>). He is referred to in <a href="/revelation/12-7.htm">Revelation 12:7</a> and <a href="/jude/1-9.htm">Jude 1:9</a>. Where he is called one of "the chief princes," there is reference to an angelic hierarchy, whether the same as that we find developed in the Book of Enoch or not cannot be decided certainly. In the Book of Tobit 12:15 Raphael declares himself "one of the seven holy angels who present the prayers of the saints, and who go in and out before the glory of the Holy One." The Book of Tobit seems to have been written about B.C. 400; hence this is an indication of opinion before the Books of Enoch. In the Enoch books not only are the great angels mentioned, but their names arc given, and functions are assigned to them; but they are numbered as four, not seven. Enoch is posterior to Tobit, and finds a place for Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel. We have no means of testing whether the number of the chief angelic princes, of whom Michael was one, was four or seven, according to the opinion of Daniel. From the fact that Enoch is, so to speak, in the direct line of apocalyptic descent from Daniel, and Tobit is not, and, moreover, as the angelology of Tobit is in close connection with the Persian hierarchy of am-haspentas, of which there were seven, - we may regard four as the more genuinely Jewish number. The later Jewish angel-elegy has many Persian elements, as shown by Dr. Kohut, in his 'Angelologie und Demonologie.' Whether the number of the archangels be made four or seven, both Gabriel and Michael are of the number, whereas Gabriel's words would rather indicate that, though Michael belonged to the rank of chief prince, he did not. As we cannot tell the nature of the opposition, we cannot tell the nature of the help afforded. And I remained there with the kings of Persia. It is very difficult to interpret this if we retain the Massoretic reading. In the first place, the sense given to nothartee in the Authorized and Revised is unsuitable. The angel is explaining how, after having delayed three whole weeks, he has now come. The sentence, as interpreted above,would have explained why he could not come at all to Daniel. It is attempted to get over this by explaining that Gabriel had beaten off the "Prince" of Persia, and that Michael remained with the King of Persia instead of him. This view, however, contradicts the function assigned to angels of nations, and implies a quasi-omnipresence on the part of Gabriel, and would render his explanation no explanation. The explanation of Gesenius, Havernick, and yon Lengerke, that nothartee is to be taken as meaning "I received the pre-eminence," as Wirier, "superior discessi apud reges Persarum," has no justification in usage. Gescnius would bring in the Syriac use of the hithpael of this verb, but though both Castell and Brockehuann assign meanings suitable, none of their quotations represents a sense precisely similar to that assigned to the verb here Hitzig's interpretation, "I was delayed," fails to explain his coming. Ewald's explanation, "I was superfluous," is logical, but has no grammatical justification. Professor Bevan's explanation, which would take this last clause as parenthetical, is untenable, as it supplies no redden for the presence of Gabriel with Daniel. We must follow the LXX. and Theodotion in reading, either as Meinhold and Behrmann, וְהותַרְתִּין or better, as Gratz, אִתּו הֹותַרְתִּי, as the vav in the former ease would naturally be read conversively. Besides, Gratz's reading explains the needlessly emphatic אֲנִי. Further, it seems needful to accept the reading of the two Greek versions and the Peshitta, and instead of מַלְכֵי read שד. None of the old versions support the Massoretic; the Vulgate is the nearest; and all of them have either read מֶלֶך or regarded מלכי as a form of the construct state, and so vocalized differently. Further, the later context here implies the contiuance of the conflict or controversy (vers. 20, 21). We must understand, then, that Gabriel left Michael to maintain the conflict against the angelic "Prince" of Persia, while he came in obedience to Daniel's prayer.
