Warring Kings of North and South

⁵ “Also the king of the South shall become strong, as well as one of his princes; and he shall gain power over him and have dominion. His dominion shall be a great dominion.

²⁵ “He shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South with a great army. And the king of the South shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for they shall devise plans against him.

¹⁴ “Now in those times many shall rise up against the king of the South. Also, ^[a]violent men of your people shall exalt themselves ^[b]in fulfillment of the vision, but they shall ^(A)fall.

¹¹ “And the king of the South shall be ^(A)moved with rage, and go out and fight with him, with the king of the North, who shall muster a great multitude; but the ^(B)multitude shall be given into the hand of his enemy.

The Northern King’s Conquests

⁴⁰ “At the ^(A)time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him ^(B)like a whirlwind, with chariots, ^(C)horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through.

⁸ And he shall also carry their gods captive to Egypt, with their ^[a]princes 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.

³ Then ^(A)a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion, and ^(B)do according to his will. ⁴ And when he has arisen, ^(C)his kingdom shall be broken up and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not among his posterity ^(D)nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, even for others besides these.
