8 He will take the metal statues of their gods and their precious utensils of silver and gold back to Egypt. He will rule for more years than the northern king.
9 He will invade the southern kingdom and return to his own country.
10 “Then his sons will prepare for war. They will assemble a large number of forces so that they can overwhelm ⌊the enemy⌋ and pass through its land. They will return and wage war all the way to the stronghold.
11 The southern king will be outraged. He will go to fight the northern king, who will raise a large army that will fall into the southern king’s hands.
12 When that army is captured, the southern king will become conceited. Although he will dominate tens of thousands of people, he will not always be strong.
13 “The northern king will return and raise an army larger than the first one. After a few years he will invade with a large army and a lot of equipment.
14 In those times many people will rebel against the southern king, and violent men from your own people will rebel in keeping with this vision, but they will be defeated.
