Daniel 11:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ Then a ·mighty [or warrior] king will ·come [^Larise], who will rule with great power and will do anything he wants [^CAlexander the Great, who defeats Persia]. ⁴ After that king ·has come [^Larises], his kingdom will be broken up and divided out toward the four ·parts of the world [^Lwinds of heaven]. His kingdom will not go to his ·descendants [posterity], and ·it will not have the power that he had [^Lnot according to the dominion of his dominion], because his kingdom will be pulled up and given to other people [^CAlexander’s kingdom was divided among his four most powerful generals, the Diadochoi].

⁵ “The king of the South [^CPtolemy I; the South is the Ptolemaic kingdom with its chief city in Alexandria, Egypt] will become strong, but one of his commanders will become even stronger [^CSeleucus, the founding king of the Seleucid kingdom with its chief city in Antioch, Syria]. He will begin to rule his own kingdom with great power.
