Daniel 11:20 Context
18After this shall he turne his face vnto the yles, and shall take many, but a prince for his own behalfe shall cause the reproch offred by him to cease without his owne reproch: he shall cause it to turne vpon him. 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.
