Daniel 11:6-15
6And after some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the 1king of the North to reach an agreement. But she will not keep her 2position of power, nor will he remain with his 3power, but she will be given up, along with those who brought her in and the one who fathered her as well as he who supported her in those times. 7But one of the 4descendants of her line will arise in his place, and he will come against their army and enter the 5fortress of the king of the North, and he will deal with them and prevail. 8And he will also take into captivity to Egypt their 6gods with their cast metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold, and he on his part will 7refrain from attacking the king of the North for some years. 9Then 8the latter will enter the realm of the king of the South, but will return to his own land.
10“And his sons will mobilize and assemble a multitude of great forces; and one of them will keep on coming and 9overflow and pass through, so that he may 10again wage war up to his fortress. 11And the 11king of the South will be enraged and go out and fight 12with the king of the North. Then the latter will raise a great multitude, but that multitude will be handed over to 13the former. 12When the multitude is carried away, his heart will 14be haughty, and he will cause tens of thousands to fall; yet he will not prevail. 13For the king of the North will again raise a greater multitude than the former, and 15after an 16interval of some years he will 17press on with a great army and much equipment.
14“Now in those times many will rise up against the king of the South; the violent ones among your people will also raise themselves up to fulfill the vision, but they will 18fall down. 15Then the king of the North will come, pile up an 19assault ramp, and capture a well-fortified city; and the forces of the South will not stand their ground, not even 20their choicest troops, for there will be no strength to make a stand.
