And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, {and} with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue {more} years than the king of the north. {their precious...: Heb. vessels of their desire}

So the king of the south shall come into {his} kingdom, and shall return into his own land.

But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and {one} shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, {even} to his fortress. {shall be...: or, shall war} {return...: or, be stirred up again}

And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, {even} with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.

{And} when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down {many} ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened {by it}.
