Daniel 11:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ The king of the North will ·decide [^Lset his face] to ·use [bring] all his power to fight against the king of the South, but he will make a peace agreement with the king of the South. The king of the North will give one of his daughters as a wife to the king of the South so that he can ·defeat [destroy] him [^CCleopatra was given to Ptolemy V in marriage to serve as a spy]. But those plans will not ·succeed [stand; endure; last] or help him [^CCleopatra changed loyalties]. ¹⁸ Then the king of the North will turn his attention to the coastlines [^Ccities along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea; Antiochus was able to take some cities in Asia Minor] and will capture ·them [^Lmany]. But a commander [^Cthe Roman consul Lucius Cornelius Scipio commanded him to cease warfare] will put an end to ·the pride of the king of the North [^Lhis scorn], turning his ·pride [scorn] back on him. ¹⁹ After that happens the king of the North will go back to the ·strong, walled [fortified] cities of his own country, but he will ·lose his power [^Lstumble and fall]. ·That will be the end of him [^L…and not be found; ^CAntiochus III died in 187 bc].
