Daniel 11:15

Compare all

13 For the king of the North will return and muster a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come at the end of some years with a great army and much equipment.

14 “Now in those times many shall rise up against the king of the South. Also,¹ violent men of your people shall exalt themselves² in fulfillment of the vision, but they shall ^afall.

15 So the king of the North shall come and ^abuild a siege mound, and take a fortified city; and the¹ forces of the South shall not withstand him. Even his choice troops shall have no strength to resist.

16 But he who comes against him ^ashall do according to his own will, and ^bno one shall stand against him. He shall stand in the Glorious Land with destruction in his¹ power.

17 “He shall also ^aset his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and¹ upright ones with him; thus shall he do. And he shall give him the daughter of women to destroy it; but she shall not stand with him, ^bor be for him.

Daniel 11:15

So the king of the north - Antiochus came to recover Judea. Scopas was sent by Ptolemy to oppose him; but he was defeated near the fountains of Jordan, and was obliged to take refuge in Sidon with ten thousand men. Antiochus pursued and besieged him; and he was obliged by famine to surrender at discretion, and their lives only were spared. Antiochus afterwards besieged several of the fenced cities, and took them; in short, carried all before him; so that the king of the south, Ptolemy, and his chosen people, his ablest generals, were not able to oppose him.
