This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Neither ... regard ... the desire of women - (Compare Eze 24:16, Eze 24:18). The wife, as the desire of man’s eyes, is the symbol of the tenderest relations (2Sa 1:26). Antiochus would set at naught even their entreaties that he should cease from his attack on Jehovah’s worship [Polanus]. Maurer refers it to Antiochus’ attack on the temple of the Syrian Venus, worshipped by women (1 Maccabees 6:1, etc.; 2 Maccabees 1:13). Newton refers it to Rome’s “forbidding to marry.” Elliott rightly makes the antitypical reference be to Messiah. Jewish women desired to be mothers with a view to Him, the promised seed of the woman (Gen 30:23; Luk 1:25, Luk 1:28).
nor regard any god - (2Th 2:4).
