Daniel 11:8 — Meaning and Application

And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in {these} times. {join...: Heb. associate themselves} {an...: Heb. rights} {he that begat...: or, whom she brought forth}

But out of a branch of her roots shall {one} stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail: {in...: or, in his place, or, office}

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}
