The King James Version Bible

Daniel 11:20-26

  1. Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

  2. And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

  3. And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

  4. And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.

  5. He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

  6. And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.

  7. Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
