20 Then shall succeed in his throne a taker of taxes who shall be the glory of the kingdom, but within few days he shall be broken, neither in anger, nor in battle.
21 And a vile person shall succeed in his place, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: nevertheless he shall come in with peace and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 And with the arms they shall be overflown of a flood before him and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
23 And after the union made with him he shall work deceit and shall rise and shall overcome with few people.
24 With the province in peace and in abundance, he shall enter and do that which his fathers have never done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall distribute prey and spoil and riches to his soldiers; and against the fortresses he shall forecast his devices, even for a time.
25 And he shall stir up his forces and his heart against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall move to the war with a great and mighty army, but he shall not prevail, for they shall betray him.
26 Even those that ate his bread shall break him, and his army shall be destroyed; and many shall fall down slain.
