Context of Daniel 11:7

5“The southern king will be strong, but one of his officers will become stronger than he is and rule a vast empire. 6After a few years the southern and northern kings will make an alliance. The southern king’s daughter will go to the northern king to make peace. She won’t hold on to her power, and the alliance won’t last. She, those who came with her, and the one who fathered and protected her will be given away. “At that time a shoot will grow from her roots to replace her father. He will attack the northern army, enter the stronghold of the northern king, fight against them, and be victorious. 8He will take the metal statues of their gods and their precious utensils of silver and gold back to Egypt. He will rule for more years than the northern king. 9He will invade the southern kingdom and return to his own country.
