Charles Ellicott Commentary Daniel 10:11

"And he said unto me, O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling." — Daniel 10:11 (ASV)

Greatly beloved.— See Daniel 9:23. The assuring words thus addressed to the prophet enabled him to stand upright, but his alarm had not yet subsided.
