Daniel 11:3
Compare all
1 “Also ain the first year of bDarius the Mede, I, even I, stood up to confirm and strengthen him.)  
2 And now I will tell you the truth: Behold, three more kings will arise in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than them all; by his strength, through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
3 Then aa mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion, and bdo according to his will.  
4 And when he has arisen, ahis kingdom shall be broken up and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not among his posterity bnor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, even for others besides these.  

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.

Daniel 11:3

A mighty king shall stand up - This was Alexander the great. It is not said that this mighty king shall stand up against Xerxes, for he was not born till one hundred years after that monarch; but simply that he should stand up, i.e., that he should reign in Greece.
