Daniel 11:1-4

Kingdoms and Wars

“Now I, in the ^afirst year of Darius the Mede, ¹I stood to strengthen and to be a fortress for him. 2 So now I will tell you the ^atruth. Behold, three more kings are going to stand ¹in Persia. Then a fourth will gain far more riches than all of them; as soon as he becomes strong through his riches, ²he will arouse the whole empire against the kingdom of ³^bGreece. 3 And a ^amighty king will stand, and he will ¹dominate with great ²domination and ^bdo as he pleases. 4 But as soon as he stands, his kingdom will be broken up and parceled out ^atoward the ^bfour winds of ¹heaven, but not to his own descendants, nor according to his ²domination with which he ³dominated, for his kingdom will be ^cuprooted and given to others besides ⁴them.
