The setting
Babylon, ~536 BC. Daniel, now in his 80s, receives his final and most detailed vision about future empires. Modern-day Iraq.

The original word
yithmarmār (יתמרמר) — to be bitter, enraged beyond reason
Why it matters

Read with care
What most readers miss in Daniel 11:11
The 'king of the south' refers to Egypt's Ptolemaic dynasty, not a modern Middle Eastern ruler
Common misconceptionPeople think this is about modern Middle East conflicts, but it's actually about ancient Greek successor kingdoms fighting over control of Israel after Alexander the Great died
