Daniel 11:2

The Kings of Egypt and Syria

2 "Now then, what I'm about to tell you is true. Three more kings will appear in Persia. Then a fourth one will rule. He will be much richer than all of the others. He will use his wealth to gain power. And he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.

Daniel 11:2 In-Context

1 I stepped forward to help him and keep him safe. It was the first year that Darius, the Mede, was king.
2 "Now then, what I'm about to tell you is true. Three more kings will appear in Persia. Then a fourth one will rule. He will be much richer than all of the others. He will use his wealth to gain power. And he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.
3 "After him, a mighty king will appear. He will rule with great power. He will do as he pleases.
4 Not long after his rule ends, his kingdom will be broken up. It will be divided up into four parts. His children will not receive it when he dies. And it will not be as strong as his kingdom. It will be pulled up by the roots. And it will be given to others.
5 "The king of Egypt will become strong. But one of his commanders will become even stronger. He will rule over his own kingdom with great power.
