Daniel 11:21–24

21 “In his place a despisedk person will arise; royal honors will not be given to him, but he will come during a time of peaceK,l and seize the kingdom by intrigue. 22 A flood of forces will be swept away before him; they will be broken, as well as the covenant prince. 23 After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully. He will rise to power with a small nation.A 24 During a time of peace,B he will come into the richest parts of the provincem and do what his fathers and predecessors never did. He will lavish plunder, loot, and wealth on his followers, and he will make plans against fortified cities, but only for a time.
