Daniel 11:38-40

Expanded Bible

³⁸ ·The king of the North [^LHe] will ·worship [glorify] ·power and strength [^La god of fortresses in his place], ·which his ancestors did not worship [^La god his ancestors/fathers did not know]. He will ·honor [glorify] the god of power with gold and silver, ·expensive jewels [precious stones] and ·gifts [^Ldesired/coveted/favored things]. ³⁹ That king will attack ·strong, walled cities [fortresses] with the help of a foreign god. He will give much ·honor [glory; or wealth] to the people who ·join [acknowledge; recognize] him, making them rulers in charge of many other people. And he will ·make them pay him for the land they rule [^Ldistribute the land for a price].

⁴⁰ “At the time of the end, the king of the South will ·fight a battle [^Lbutt] against ·the king of the North [^Lhim]. The king of the North will ·attack [^Lrush in on him] with chariots, soldiers on horses, and many large ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through their lands like a flood.
