Daniel 11:39-41
Lexham English Bible
39 And he will deal with the fortified strongholds[a] with the help of a foreign god;[b] and he will increase wealth for whoever will acknowledge him, and he will cause them to rule[c] over the many, and he will distribute land for a price.
40 “And at the time of the end the king of the south will attack him, and the king of the north will storm against him with chariots[d] and with horsemen and with many ships, and he will advance against the countries and he will sweep through like a flood.[e] 41 And he will come into the beautiful land[f] and many will fall victim, but these will escape from his power: Edom and Moab and the best part[g] of the Ammonites.[h]
