Daniel 11:5-19
Legacy Standard Bible

5 “Then the (A)king of the South will grow strong, [a]along with one of his princes [b]who will grow strong over him and [c]obtain dominion; indeed, his [d]domain will be a great [e]dominion. 6 And [f]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 carry out [g]an equitable arrangement. But she will not retain her [h]position of power, nor will he continue to stand with his [i]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 strengthened her in those times. 7 But one of the [j]descendants of her line will stand in his place, and he will come against their military force and enter the (C)fortress of the king of the North, and he will deal with them and display strength. 8 And also their (D)gods with their [k]metal images and their desirable vessels of silver and gold he will bring into captivity to Egypt, and he on his part will stand back from attacking the king of the North for some years. 9 Then [l]the latter will enter the kingdom of the king of the South, but will return to his own land.

10 “And his sons will wage war. So they will gather a multitude of great forces; and one of them will keep on coming and (E)overflow and pass through, that he may [m]again wage war up to his very fortress. 11 And the (F)king of the South will be enraged and go forth and fight [n]with the king of the North. Then the latter will cause a great multitude to stand, but that multitude will be given into [o]the hand of the former. 12 Then the multitude will be carried away, his heart will be lifted up, and he will cause tens of thousands to fall; yet he will not prevail. 13 And the king of the North will again cause a much greater multitude than the former to stand, and at the (G)end of the times of those years, he will keep on coming with a great military force and much equipment.

14 “Now in those times many will stand against the king of the South; the violent ones among your people will also lift themselves up in order to cause the vision to stand, but they will [p]fall down. 15 Then the king of the North will come, cast up a (H)siege ramp, and capture a well-fortified city; and the might of the South will not stand, not even [q]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 stand in [r]opposition to him; he will also stand for a time in the [s](K)Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand. 17 And he will (L)set his face to come with the authority of his whole kingdom, [t]bringing with him [u]an equitable proposal which he will [v]put into effect; he will also give him the daughter of women to destroy it. But she will not take a stand for him or be [w]on his side. 18 Then he will turn his face to the (M)coastlands and capture many. But a ruler will make his reproach against him cease; moreover, he will (N)repay him for his reproach. 19 So he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will (O)stumble and fall and be (P)found no more.

Daniel 11:5-19
Christian Standard Bible

Kings of the South and the North

5 “The king of the South(A) will grow powerful, but one of his commanders will grow more powerful and will rule a kingdom greater than his. 6 After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North(B) to seal the agreement. She will not retain power, and his strength will not endure. She will be given up, together with her entourage, her father,[a] and the one who supported her during those times. 7 In the place of the king of the South, one from her family[b] will rise up, come against the army, and enter the fortress of the king of the North. He will take action against them and triumph. 8 He will take even their gods captive to Egypt, with their metal images and their precious articles of silver and gold.(C) For some years he will stay away from the king of the North, 9 who will enter the kingdom of the king of the South and then return to his own land.

10 “His sons will mobilize for war and assemble a large number of armed forces. They will advance, sweeping through like a flood,[c](D) and will again wage war as far as his fortress. 11 Infuriated, the king of the South will march out to fight with the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but they will be handed over to his enemy. 12 When the army is carried off, he will become arrogant and cause tens of thousands to fall, but he will not triumph. 13 The king of the North will again raise a multitude larger than the first. After some years[d](E) he will advance with a great army and many supplies.

14 “In those times many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent ones among your own people will assert themselves to fulfill a vision, but they will fail. 15 Then the king of the North will come, build up a siege ramp,(F) and capture a well-fortified city. The forces of the South will not stand; even their select troops will not be able to resist. 16 The king of the North who comes against him will do whatever he wants,(G) and no one can oppose him. He will establish himself in the beautiful land[e](H) with total destruction in his hand. 17 He will resolve(I) to come with the force of his whole kingdom and will reach an agreement with him.[f] He will give him a daughter in marriage[g] to destroy it,[h] but she will not stand with him or support him. 18 Then he will turn his attention to the coasts and islands[i](J) and capture many. But a commander will put an end to his taunting; instead, he will turn his taunts against him.(K) 19 He will turn his attention back to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble, fall,(L) and be no more.(M)
