Daniel 11:21 Context
19Then he shall turne his face towards the fort of his owne lande: but he shall stumble and fall, and not bee found. 20Then shall stand vp in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdome, but within few dayes he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battell. 21And in his estate shall stand vp a vile person, to whom they shal not giue the honour of the kingdome: but hee shall come in peaceably, and obtaine the kingdome by flatteries. 22And with the armes of a flood shall they bee ouerflowen from before him, and shall be broken: yea also the prince of the couenant. 23And after the league made with him he shall worke deceitfully, for hee shall come vp, and shall become strong with a small people.
