Daniel 11:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ Then a mighty king will come to power and will be able to do whatever he pleases. ⁴ But suddenly his kingdom will be crushed and scattered to the four corners of the earth, where four more kingdoms will rise. But these won't be ruled by his descendants or be as powerful as his kingdom.

⁵ The king of the south will grow powerful. Then one of his generals will rebel and will rule an even larger kingdom.
