Context of Daniel 11:7

5“Then the king of the south will become strong, but one of his commanders will become even stronger than he, and he will rule a greater kingdom than his. 6After some years they will form an alliance. The daughter of the king of the south will approach the king of the north to make an agreement. But she will not retain her position of power, nor will his strength endure. Instead she will be given up, together with her escort, her father and the one who supported her in those times. But another shoot from her roots will arise in his place. He will come against the army of the king of the north and enter his fortress. He will fight against them and prevail. 8He will also carry off their gods into captivity to Egypt, along with their metal images and their precious articles of silver and gold. For a few years he will stay away from the king of the north. 9“Then the king of the north will invade the realm of the king of the south, but he will retreat to his own land.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7But out of a branch of her roots - Compare the notes at Isaiah 11:1.
