Daniel 11:6–15

⁶After some years, they will become allies. The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to make an alliance, but she will not retain her power, and he and his power^a will not last. In those days she will be betrayed, together with her royal escort and her father^b and the one who supported her.

⁷“One from her family line will arise to take her place. He will attack the forces of the king of the North^p and enter his fortress; he will fight against them and be victorious. ⁸He will also seize their gods,^q their metal images and their valuable articles of silver and gold and carry them off to Egypt.^r For some years he will leave the king of the North alone. ⁹Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South but will retreat to his own country. ¹⁰His sons will prepare for war and assemble a great army, which will sweep on like an irresistible flood^s and carry the battle as far as his fortress.

¹¹“Then the king of the South will march out in a rage and fight against the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be defeated.^{t 12}When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be filled with pride and will slaughter many thousands, yet he will not remain triumphant. ¹³For the king of the North will muster another army, larger than the first; and after several years, he will advance with a huge army fully equipped.

¹⁴“In those times many will rise against the king of the South. Those who are violent among your own people will rebel in fulfillment of the vision, but without success. ¹⁵Then the king of the North will come and build up siege ramps^u and will capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will be powerless to resist; even their best troops will not have the strength to stand.
