Daniel 11:7-9
New English Translation

7 “There will arise in his[a] place one from her family line[b] who will come against their army and will enter the stronghold of the king of the north and will move against them successfully.[c] 8 He will also take their gods into captivity to Egypt, along with their cast images and prized utensils of silver and gold. Then he will withdraw for some years from[d] the king of the north. 9 Then the king of the north[e] will advance against the empire of the king of the south, but will withdraw to his own land.
