Being broken, i.e. by death, which breaks the horn of all pride and earthly glory. Four stood up for it, i.e. four kingdoms of the nations of the Greeks. Not in his power; that is, not in his majesty and magnificence, but inferior to him.

Daniel 8:22

22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
