his wife shall be born another king named 0. ; he will be a bloody and wicked man, destitute of faith and truth ; and by his means many evils will exist, and there will be great bloodshed, and cities too will be destroyed by his power. For there will be much tribulation and many battles in other countries than his. Then nation shall rise up against nation in Cappadocia, and in Pamphilia ; and nations will be made captive in his time ; because he did not enter the sheepfold by the door : and he will reign four years. After him shall arise a king whose name is H., and in like manner in his days shall there be many battles.
