Daniel 11:11

9 “Also the king of the North shall come to the kingdom of the king of the South, but shall return to his own land.

10 However his sons shall stir up strife, and assemble a multitude of great forces; and one shall certainly come ^aand overwhelm and pass through; then he shall return ^bto his fortress and stir up strife.

11 “And the king of the South shall be ^amoved with rage, and go out and fight with him, with the king of the North, who shall muster a great multitude; but the ^bmultitude shall be given into the hand of his enemy.

12 When he has taken away the multitude, his heart will be¹ lifted up; and he will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not prevail.

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.

<< Daniel 11:10

Daniel 11:12 >>

the king of the south . . . moved with choler—at so great losses, Syria having been wrested from him, and his own kingdom imperilled, though otherwise an indolent man, to which his disasters were owing, as also to the odium of his subjects against him for having murdered his father, mother, and brother, whence in irony they called him Philopater, "father-lover."

he shall set forth a great multitude—Antiochus, king of Syria, whose force was seventy thousand infantry and five thousand cavalry.

but . . . multitude . . . given into his hand—into Ptolemy's hands; ten thousand of Antiochus' army were slain, and four thousand made captives.
