Komentaryong Sumisipi para sa Daniel 11:4

"Listen to this matter cows of Bashan..." Because the women of Shomron were used to luxury and were fat from the luxury and ruled their husbands and they caused their husbands to pervert justice and steal from the poor in order to sustain their desires for luxury and good foods and fancy dress, therefore, the prophet spoke about them. They are called cows of Bashan becase Bashan is a place where the fruits are ripe and good and fat, and therefore the wives of the kings and officers in Shomron who were fat and beautiful are called cows of Bashan. And the explanation of this is about those who were in the mountain of Shomron who perverted the justice towards the destitute and afflicted the poor. The explanation is not that they would beat and afflict the poor themsleves rather they would tell their husbands to bring them to drink wine. And in order to fulfill their desires for wine they would abuse the poor who didn't have the ability to fight back in order to bring their wives the money so it's like the wives themselves abused them. (pasuk beis)- And because of this Hashem promised by His Holiness- this means that He made a decree according to His Heavenly Wisdom to bring bad days upon the luxurious cows and to bring an exile of the enemy and a siege that is mentioned in the above text that they would end up in the fishing boats. The word Tzinah according to commentaries means shield, like in the psasuk in Tehillim (Psalms 91:4) meaning the warriors bring their war equipment to protect them and it's in the form of a shield. And thus did Targum Yonasan translate. But the Abarbenel questions why they would carry away the woman on their shields? And then they end up in the fishing boats and fishing nets. So it seems to be referring to a small boat. And the word "achariso" means the children as it is used in (Daniel 11:4) "but not for any of his posterity, nor with dominion like that which he had; for his kingdom will be uprooted and belong to others beside these.". And no that their children will be brought in fishing boats like Rashi said. Rather what Yonasan explains that the Tzinus were names of the ships because they shielded the smaller ships. And we have ships today that are in the form of shields. When he prophecies that the bad days will come and the exile and the enemy will take them at will in large shield like ships and their virgin daughters who are thier "acharisan" will be taken in smaller fishing boats called "sirot" and it will be a disgrace for honorable, officials women to be taken in fishing boats like prostitues. This is the eplanation of the Even Kaspi.

and your posterity in fishing boats Heb. בְּסִירוֹת דּוּגָה. [Jonathan renders:] And your daughters in fishermen’s boats. That is a small boat used by fishermen, and, since it is small, he calls it סִיר, a pot, and in Mishnaic Hebrew, it is called דּוּגִית in Baba Bathra 73a. your posterity Heb. וְאַחֲרִיתְכֶן, lit., your end. Dunash ben Livrat (Teshuvoth p. 50): We find a person’s descendants called ‘his end.’ Cf. (Daniel 11:4) “And when he stands up, his kingdom shall be broken, and it shall be divided to the four winds of the heaven, and not to his posterity (לְאַחֲרִיתוֹ).” I.e, he will not leave over his kingdom to his son.

ותהי אחריתי כמוהו, so that my offspring be like that of the Israelites. The children of man and those who are the biological issue of him are known as אחריתו, [literally the ones who are following behind him. Ed.] We encounter the word אחרית in this sense in Psalms 109,13 תהי אחריתו להכרית, “may his posterity be cut off. We encounter it in this context also in Daniel 11,4 ולא לאחריתו, “but not for any of his posterity.”
