Daniel 11:5

¶ And the king of the south shall be strong, and [one] of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion [shall be] a great dominion.

And the king {H4428} of the south {H5045} shall be strong {H2388}, and one of his princes {H8269}; and he shall be strong {H2388} above him, and have dominion {H4910}; his dominion {H4475} shall be a great {H7227} dominion {H4474}.

"The king in the south will be strong, and one of his princes will gain power over him and have dominion; his domain will be a great dominion.

The king of the South will grow strong, but one of his commanders will grow even stronger and will rule his own kingdom with great authority.

And the king of the south shall be strong, andoneof his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
