After he has arisen, his empire will be broken up and parcelled out towards the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants,
nor will it have the power he exercised, because his empire will be uprooted and given to others.
After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to seal the agreement. She will not retain power, and his strength will not endure. She will be given up, together with her entourage, her father,
and the one who supported her during those times.
In the place of the king of the South, one from her family will rise up, come against the army, and enter the fortress of the king
of the North. He will take action against them and triumph.
He will take even their gods captive to Egypt, with their metal images and their precious articles of silver and gold.
For some years he will stay away from the king of the North,
“His sons will mobilize for war and assemble a large number of armed forces. They will advance, sweeping through like a flood,
and will again wage war as far as his fortress.
Infuriated, the king of the South will march out to fight with the king of the North, who will raise a large army,
but they will be handed over to his enemy.
“In those times many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent ones among your own people will assert themselves
to fulfill a vision, but they will fail.
Then the king of the North will come, build up a siege ramp, and capture a well-fortified city. The forces of the South will not stand; even their select troops will not be able to resist.
The king of the North who comes against him will do whatever he wants, and no one can oppose him. He will establish himself
in the beautiful land with total destruction in his hand.
He will resolve to come with the force of his whole kingdom and will reach an agreement with him. He will give him a daughter
in marriage to destroy it, but she will not stand with him or support him.
Then he will turn his attention to the coasts and islands and capture many. But a commander will put an end to his taunting;
instead, he will turn his taunts against him.
“In his place one will arise who will send out a tax collector for the glory of the kingdom; but within a few days he will be broken, though not in anger or in battle.
.
“In his place a despised person will arise; royal honors will not be given to him, but he will come during a time of peace
and seize the kingdom by intrigue.
