Discovery BoxDaniel 2:35 
Context2:35 Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were broken in pieces without distinction 1 and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors that the wind carries away. Not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a large mountain that filled the entire earth.
Daniel 11:17
Context11:17 His intention 2 will be to come with the strength of his entire kingdom, and he will form alliances. 3 He will give the king of the south 4 a daughter 5 in marriage in order to destroy the kingdom, but it will not turn out to his advantage.
