Daniel 11:6–15

⁶And at the end of some years they shall join forces, for the daughter of the king of the South shall go to the king of the North to make an agreement; but she shall not retain the power of her ¹authority, and neither he nor his authority shall stand; but she shall be given up, with those who brought her, and with him who begot her, and with him who strengthened her in those times. ⁷But from a branch of her roots one shall arise in his place, who shall come with an army, enter the fortress of the king of the North, and deal with them and prevail. ⁸And he shall also carry their gods captive to Egypt, with their ²princes and their precious articles of silver and gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the North.

⁹“Also the king of the North shall come to the kingdom of the king of the South, but shall return to his own land. ¹⁰However his sons shall stir up strife, and assemble a multitude of great forces; and one shall certainly come ^gand overwhelm and pass through; then he shall return ^hto his fortress and stir up strife.

¹¹“And the king of the South shall be ⁱmoved with rage, and go out and fight with him, with the king of the North, who shall muster a great multitude; but the ^jmultitude shall be given into the hand of his enemy. ¹²When he has taken away the multitude, his heart will be ³lifted up; and he will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not prevail. ¹³For the king of the North will return and muster a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come at the end of some years with a great army and much equipment.

¹⁴“Now in those times many shall rise up against the king of the South. Also, ⁴violent men of your people shall exalt themselves ⁵in fulfillment of the vision, but they shall ^kfall. ¹⁵So the king of the North shall come and ^lbuild a siege mound, and take a fortified city; and the ⁶forces of the South shall not withstand him. Even his choice troops shall have no strength to resist.
