Daniel 11:23

Kings of the South and North

22Then a flood of forces will be swept away before him and destroyed, along with a prince of the covenant.23After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully; for he will rise to power with only a few people.24In a time of peace, he will invade the richest provinces and do what his fathers and forefathers never did. He will lavish plunder, loot, and wealth on his followers, and he will plot against the strongholds—but only for a time.
