Daniel 11:1-3

New International Reader's Version

11 ¹ I stepped forward to help him and keep him safe. It was the first year that Darius, the Mede, was king.

The Kings of Egypt and Syria

² “Now then, what I’m about to tell you is true. Three more kings will come to power in Persia. Then a fourth one will rule. He will be much richer than all the others. He will use his wealth to gain power. And he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece. ³ After him, a mighty king will come to power. He will rule with great power and do as he pleases.
