Daniel 8:22

And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up(R.V.), four kingdoms shall stand up, &c. see on Daniel 8:8.

stand up i.e. arise. Late Hebrew uses -âmad, -to stand," or -stand up," where early Hebrew would say ḳûm, -to arise" (e.g. Exodus 1:8): similarly Daniel 8:23, and several times in ch. 11.
