He will deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. He will increase with glory whoever acknowledges him. He will cause them to rule over many, and will divide the land for a price.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Daniel 11:39 in context
Daniel 11:36–42
36
“The king will do according to his will. He will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is accomplished, for that which is determined will be done.
37
He won’t regard the gods of his fathers, or the desire of women, or regard any god; for he will magnify himself above all.
38
But in their place, he will honor the god of fortresses. He will honor a god whom his fathers didn’t know with gold, silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things.
39
Selected verse

41
He will enter also into the glorious land, and many countries will be overthrown; but these will be delivered out of his hand: Edom, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42
He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt won’t escape.
