Daniel 11:9-11
New English Translation

9 Then the king of the north[a] will advance against the empire of the king of the south, but will withdraw to his own land. 10 His sons[b] will wage war, mustering a large army that will advance like an overflowing river and carrying the battle all the way to the enemy’s[c] fortress.[d]

11 “Then the king of the south[e] will be enraged and will march out to fight against the king of the north, who will also muster a large army, but that army will be delivered into his hand.
