Daniel 11:6–15

⁶After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North^am to seal the agreement. She will not retain power, and his strength will not endure. She will be given up, together with her entourage, her father,^A and the one who supported her during those times. ⁷In the place of the king of the South, one from her family^B will rise up, come against the army, and enter the fortress of the king of the North. He will take action against them and triumph. ⁸He will take even their gods captive to Egypt, with their metal images and their precious articles of silver and gold.^an For some years he will stay away from the king of the North, ⁹who will enter the kingdom of the king of the South and then return to his own land.

¹⁰“His sons will mobilize for war and assemble a large number of armed forces. They will advance, sweeping through like a flood,^Cao and will again wage war as far as his fortress. ¹¹Infuriated, the king of the South will march out to fight with the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but they will be handed over to his enemy. ¹²When the army is carried off, he will become arrogant and cause tens of thousands to fall, but he will not triumph. ¹³The king of the North will again raise a multitude larger than the first. After some years^Da he will advance with a great army and many supplies.

¹⁴“In those times many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent ones among your own people will assert themselves to fulfill a vision, but they will fail. ¹⁵Then the king of the North will come, build up a siege ramp,^b and capture a well-fortified city. The forces of the South will not stand; even their select troops will not be able to resist.
