7 one of her relatives will become the ruler of the southern kingdom. He will attack the army of the northern kingdom and capture its fortresses.
8 Then he will carry their idols to Egypt, together with their precious treasures of silver and gold, but it will be a long time before he attacks the northern kingdom again. Some years later
9 the king of the north will invade the southern kingdom, but he will be forced back to his own country.
10 The sons of the king of the north will gather a huge army that will sweep down like a roaring flood, reaching all the way to the fortress of the southern kingdom.
11 But this will make the king of the south angry, and he will defeat this large army from the north.
12 The king of the south will feel proud because of the many thousands he has killed. But his victories won't last long,
13 because the king of the north will gather a larger and more powerful army than ever before. Then in a few years, he will start invading other countries.
