11. The king of the south, enraged, shall go out to fight against the king of the north, who shall field a great host, but the host shall be given into his hand.
12. When the host is carried off, in the pride of his heart he shall bring down tens of thousands, but he shall not triumph.
13. For the king of the north shall raise another army, greater than before; after some years he shall attack with this large army and great resources.
14. In those times many shall resist the king of the south, and violent ones among your people shall rise up in fulfillment of vision, but they shall stumble.
15. When the king of the north comes, he shall set up siegeworks and take the fortified city by storm. The forces of the south shall not withstand him, and not even his picked troops shall have the strength to withstand.
16. The invader shall do as he wills, with no one to withstand him. He shall stop in the glorious land, and it shall all be in his power.
17. He shall resolve to come with the entire strength of his kingdom. He shall make an alliance with him and give him a daughter in marriage in order to destroy him, but this shall not stand.
18. He shall turn to the coastland and take many prisoners, but a commander shall put an end to his shameful conduct, so that he cannot retaliate.
19. He shall turn to the strongholds of his own land, but shall stumble and fall, to be found no more.
20. In his stead one shall arise who will send a collector of tribute through the glorious kingdom, but he shall soon be destroyed, though not in conflict or in battle.
21. “There shall arise in his place a despicable person, to whom the royal insignia shall not be given. He shall enter by stealth and seize the kingdom by fraud.
22. Armed forces shall be completely overwhelmed by him and crushed, even the prince of the covenant.
23. After making alliances, he shall treacherously rise to power with only a few supporters.
24. By stealth he shall enter prosperous provinces and do that which his fathers or grandfathers never did; he shall distribute spoil, plunder, and riches among them and devise plots against their strongholds.
25. He shall rouse his strength and courage to meet the king of the south with a great army; the king of the south shall go into battle with a very large and strong army, but he shall not stand because of the plots devised against him.
26. Even his table companions shall seek to destroy him, his army shall be overwhelmed, and many shall be struck down.
