Daniel 11:24-26

International Standard Version

²⁴ He’ll invade the most prosperous areas of the province during a time of tranquility, accomplishing what neither his predecessors nor his ancestors ever could. He’ll distribute war spoils, booty, and wealth to them, and he’ll plot the overthrow of fortresses, though only for a time. ²⁵ He’ll encourage himself against the southern king by raising^[a] a large army. As a result, the southern king will mobilize for war with a large and powerful army, but he won’t succeed because they will devise elaborate schemes against him. ²⁶ His own security detail^[b] will undermine him, his army will be swept away, and many will fall and be killed in battle.^[c]
