Daniel 11:5-19
New American Standard Bible

5 “Then the (A)king of the South will grow strong, [a]along with one of his princes [b]who will gain ascendancy over him and rule; his domain will be a great realm indeed. 6 And after some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the (B)king of the North to reach an agreement. But she will not keep her [c]position of power, nor will he remain with his [d]power, 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. 7 But one of the [e]descendants of her line will arise in his place, and he will come against their army and enter the (C)fortress of the king of the North, and he will deal with them and prevail. 8 And he will also take into captivity to Egypt their (D)gods with their cast metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold, and he on his part will [f]refrain from attacking the king of the North for some years. 9 Then [g]the 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 (E)overflow and pass through, so that he may [h]again wage war up to his fortress. 11 And the (F)king of the South will be enraged and go out and fight [i]with the king of the North. Then the latter will raise a great multitude, but that multitude will be handed over to [j]the former. 12 When the multitude is carried away, his heart will [k]be haughty, and he will cause tens of thousands to fall; yet he will not prevail. 13 For the king of the North will again raise a greater multitude than the former, and [l]after an (G)interval of some years he will [m]press 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 [n]fall down. 15 Then the king of the North will come, pile up an (H)assault ramp, and capture a well-fortified city; and the forces of the South will not stand their ground, not even [o]their choicest troops, for there will be no strength to make a stand. 16 But he who comes against him will (I)do as he pleases, and (J)no one will be able to withstand him; he will also stay for a time in the [p](K)Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand. 17 And he will (L)set his [q]mind on coming with the power of his entire kingdom, [r]bringing with him [s]a proposal of peace which he will put into effect; he will also give him the daughter of women to ruin it. But she will not take a stand for him or be [t]on his side. 18 Then he will turn his face to the (M)coastlands and capture many. But a commander will put a stop to his taunting against him; moreover, he will (N)repay him for his taunting. 19 So he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will (O)stumble and fall and not be (P)found.

Daniel 11:5-19
American Standard Version

5 And the king of the south [a]shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion. 6 And at the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make [b]an agreement: but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in those times.

7 But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his [c]place, who shall come [d]unto the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail. 8 And also their gods, with their [e]molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall [f]refrain some years from the king of the north. 9 And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.

10 And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, [g]which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through; and [h]they shall return and war, even to his fortress. 11 And the king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north; and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand. 12 And the multitude shall [i]be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail. 13 And the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, even [j]of years, with a great army and with much substance. 14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall. 15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take [k]a well-fortified city: and the forces of the south shall not stand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to stand. 16 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction. 17 And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him [l]equitable conditions; and he shall perform them: and he shall give him the daughter of women, [m]to corrupt her; but [n]she shall not stand, neither be for him. 18 After this shall he turn his face unto the [o]isles, and shall take many: but a [p]prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him. 19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.

Daniel 11:5-19
New International Version

5 “The king of the South will become strong, but one of his commanders will become even stronger than he and will rule his own kingdom with great power. 6 After some years, they will become allies. The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to make an alliance, but she will not retain her power, and he and his power[a] will not last. In those days she will be betrayed, together with her royal escort and her father[b] and the one who supported her.

7 “One from her family line will arise to take her place. He will attack the forces of the king of the North(A) and enter his fortress; he will fight against them and be victorious. 8 He will also seize their gods,(B) their metal images and their valuable articles of silver and gold and carry them off to Egypt.(C) For some years he will leave the king of the North alone. 9 Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South but will retreat to his own country. 10 His sons will prepare for war and assemble a great army, which will sweep on like an irresistible flood(D) and carry the battle as far as his fortress.

11 “Then the king of the South will march out in a rage and fight against the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be defeated.(E) 12 When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be filled with pride and will slaughter many thousands, yet he will not remain triumphant. 13 For the king of the North will muster another army, larger than the first; and after several years, he will advance with a huge army fully equipped.

14 “In those times many will rise against the king of the South. Those who are violent among your own people will rebel in fulfillment of the vision, but without success. 15 Then the king of the North will come and build up siege ramps(F) and will capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will be powerless to resist; even their best troops will not have the strength to stand. 16 The invader will do as he pleases;(G) no one will be able to stand against him.(H) He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land and will have the power to destroy it.(I) 17 He will determine to come with the might of his entire kingdom and will make an alliance with the king of the South. And he will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow the kingdom, but his plans[c] will not succeed(J) or help him. 18 Then he will turn his attention to the coastlands(K) and will take many of them, but a commander will put an end to his insolence and will turn his insolence back on him.(L) 19 After this, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own country but will stumble and fall,(M) to be seen no more.(N)
