Toward the end of their rule, when rebellious acts<n id="1" /> are complete, a rash<n id="2" /> and deceitful<n id="3" /> king will arise.<n id="4" />

By his treachery<n id="1" /> he will succeed through deceit.<n id="2" /> He will have an arrogant attitude,<n id="3" /> and he will destroy many who are unaware of his schemes.<n id="4" /> He will rise up against the Prince of princes, yet he will be broken apart &#8211; but not by human agency.<n id="5" />

He will also take their gods into captivity to Egypt, along with their cast images and prized utensils of silver and gold. Then he will withdraw for some years from<n id="1" /> the king of the north.

How, sir, am I able to speak with you?<n id="1" /> My strength is gone,<n id="2" /> and I am breathless.&#8221;

After some years have passed, they<n id="1" /> will form an alliance. Then the daughter<n id="2" /> of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement, but she will not retain her power,<n id="3" /> nor will he continue<n id="4" /> in his strength.<n id="5" /> She, together with the one who brought her, her child,<n id="6" /> and her benefactor will all be delivered over at that time.<n id="7" />p>

He will rouse his strength and enthusiasm<n id="1" /> against the king of the south<n id="2" /> with a large army. The king of the south will wage war with a large and very powerful army, but he will not be able to prevail because of the plans devised against him.
