Daniel 11:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ “But a ·person from her family [^Lbranch of her roots] will ·become king of the South [^Larise in his place] and will ·attack [^Lcome against] the armies of the king of the North [^CPtolemy III waged war against Seleucus II]. He will go into that king’s ·strong, walled city [fortress] and will ·fight [act] and win. ⁸ He will take their gods, their metal idols, and their ·valuable [^Lfavored; coveted; desired] things made of silver and gold back to Egypt as plunder. Then he will not bother the king of the North for a few years. ⁹ Next, ·the king of the North [^Lhe] will ·attack [^Lcome against] the king of the South, but he will ·be beaten back [return] to his own ·country [land; ^Cthe battles between the Seleucids and the Ptolemies would continue].
