• I am inclined to think that the wounded head was the imperial form of government. (Comp. Rev. 17:10.) The heads that were, as we have seen, connected with the dragon (Rev. 12:3) as well as with the beast, represent the different forms of power which had existed successively. Of these one was to be lost, as it were wounded to death, but at this time was to be revived again through Satanic agency. (“Brief Exposition of Revelation 13” by A.J. Pollock)
• Deadly Wound by a Sword: Political calamity inflicted by war. (“Revelation 13 Symbols” by A.H. Burton)

J. N. Darby Translation

WK Translation Notes

+
a
The RV rightly prints "I saw" in italics (as doubtful), in accordance with the Complutensian edition; Erasmus ventured to insert it, probably following Latin copies (and not the best). I am unaware of any cursive MS. save one which reads the word.
b
The word is not "wounded," as in the KJV, nor yet "smitten," as in the RV, but "slain."
c
Or, "the stroke of his death." "Death-stroke" well renders the words.
