*Note:

The word "remained" in verse 13 of the tenth chapter of Daniel, as given in the Authorized Version, is not the correct reading of the Hebrew original–see Rotherham’s translation which has the rendering: "left him"; that is, Gabriel left Michael to fight the prince of Persia, while he continued on his journey to the praying Daniel to whom he delivered his message. This message is detailed in the eleventh and twelfth chapters of Daniel. The division of the narrative into chapters in the Authorized Version tends to obscure its continuity. The entire record from chapter 10 to the end of the book is more clearly followed in the modern English translations by Rotherham, and by Fenton. For a satisfactory exposition of Daniel’s prophetic visions, as well as of the general Biblical Plan of God, we especially direct attention to Studies in the Scriptures by Charles Russell.
