1. And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
2. And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
3. And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
