Daniel 11:24

He shall enter peaceably — He shall come in upon the Egyptians under pretence of peace, in a plentiful and delicious country, and among a mass of treasures which the kings successively had heaped up; the greatest part of which Antiochus distributed among his confidants, whereby he obliged them the faster to him. He did herein what his fathers had not done; the kings of Syria before him, could never attain to this success over Egypt. Against the strong — holds — Having succeeded thus far, he shall proceed to the places of greatest strength in that kingdom. For a time — That is 'till God put a stop to his career, for the Egyptians found means to deliver themselves from his yoke.
