Daniel 11:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ “The Syrian king will march onward unopposed; none will be able to stop him. And he will also enter ‘The Glorious Land’ of Israel and pillage it. ¹⁷ This will be his plot for conquering all Egypt: he, too, will form an alliance with the Egyptian king, giving him a daughter in marriage, so that she can work for him from within. But the plan will fail.

¹⁸ “After this he will turn his attention to the coastal cities and conquer many. But a general will stop him and cause him to retreat in shame.
