14
And twelve kings shall reign in it, one after another.
15
But the second that is to reign shall hold sway for a longer time than any other of the twelve.

18
In the midst of the time of that kingdom great struggles shall arise, and it shall be in danger of falling; nevertheless it shall not fall then, but shall regain its former power.
