Daniel 11:21
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
KJV
Et stabit in loco ejus despectus, et non tribuetur ei honor regius : et veniet clam, et obtinebit regnum in fraudulentia.
Vulgate
καὶ ἀναστήσεται ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ εὐκαταφρόνητος, καὶ οὐ δοθήσεται ἐπ’ αὐτὸν δόξα βασιλέως· καὶ ἥξει ἐξάπινα, κατισχύσει βασιλεὺς ἐν κληροδοσίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
LXX
And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
