Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:14
For yet the vision is for many days - There are many things which remain yet to be revealed, and the time of their accomplishment is very distant. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:15
I set my face toward the ground - He was standing upright, Daniel 10:11 , and he now bent his body in reverence, and looked down upon the ground. And became dumb - Found himself unable to speak. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:16
Like the similitude of the sons of men - I think Gabriel is here meant, who appeared to Daniel in a human form; and so in Daniel 10:18 , and see also Daniel 9:21 . Touched my lips - Before this he was unable to speak. By the vision - The vision that I have already had, and of which I have not a proper knowledge has greatly afflicted me, because I see it intimates grievous calamities to my people. See Daniel 9:26 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:20
Knowest thou wherefore I come - So high art thou in the favor of God, that he hath sent me unto thee to give thee farther satisfaction; though I was elsewhere employed upon a most important mission, and I must speedily return to accomplish it, viz.: - To fight with the king of Persia - To remove all the scruples of Cyrus, and to excite him to do all that God designs him to do for the restoration of my people, and the rebuilding of the city and temple of Jerusalem. Nothing less than a... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:21
Noted in the scripture of truth - Perhaps this refers to what he had already written down. See the preceding visions, which Daniel did not fully understand, though a general impression from them had filled his heart with sorrow. Michael your prince - The archangel mentioned before, Daniel 10:13 , and who has been always supposed to be appointed by God as the guardian of the Jewish nation. It appears that God chose to make use of the ministry of angels in this work; that angels, as they... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:13
Verse 13 The angel now assigns a reason why he did not appear at once, and at the very first moment to the Prophet, who might complain as follows, — “What treatment is this, to suffer me to consume away through grief for so long a period?” for Daniel had remained through three weeks in succession in the severest affliction. God had heard him, indeed, from the very first day; how, then, could he still behold this wretched man thus prostrate in mourning? why did not God cause it to appear openly... read more
John Calvin
John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:14
Verse 14 The angel follows up the same sentiment. He states his arrival for the purpose of predicting to Daniel coming events, and those, too, for a long period of time. He further proves the prayers of Daniel to have been neither vain nor fruitless, as they produced this conflict with the kings of Persia, both father and son. He now brings forward another proof of this, because God wished his Prophet to be instructed in patiently waiting for the arrival of the events, after being made fully... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:13
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me - I think it would go far to make a legend or a precarious tale of this important place to endeavor to maintain that either a good or evil Angel Is intended here. Cyrus alone was the prince of Persia, and God had destined him to be the deliverer of his people; but there were some matters, of which we are not informed, that caused him to hesitate for some time. Fearing, probably, the greatness of the work, and not being fully satisfied of... read more
