Daniel 11:1-12

¹“And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, stood up to strengthen and protect him.

²Now then, I will tell you the truth: Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. By the power of his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.

³Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great authority and do as he pleases.

⁴But as soon as he is established, his kingdom will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the authority with which he ruled, because his kingdom will be uprooted and given to others.

⁵The king of the South will grow strong, but one of his commanders will grow even stronger and will rule his own kingdom with great authority.

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 to seal the agreement. But his daughter will not retain her position of power, nor will his strength endure. At that time she will be given up, along with her royal escort and her father and the one who supported her.

⁷But one from her family line will rise up in his place, come against the army of the king of the North, and enter his fortress, fighting and prevailing.

⁸He will take even their gods captive to Egypt, with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold. For some years he will stay away from the king of the North,

⁹who will invade the realm of the king of the South and then return to his own land.

¹⁰But his sons will stir up strife and assemble a great army, which will advance forcefully, sweeping through like a flood, and will again carry the battle as far as his fortress.

¹¹In a rage, the king of the South will march out to fight the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be delivered into the hand of his enemy.

¹²When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be proud in heart and will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not triumph.
