KJV ORIGINAL
He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
He'll walk right into the richest parts of the land like he owns the place, totally peaceful on the surface. Then he'll do something his dad and grandpa never pulled off — he'll actually share the stolen goods and wealth with his followers. And yeah, he's already plotting his next moves against the fortified cities, but only for a limited time.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes the most dangerous leaders are the ones who show up with gifts and a smile.
