Context — The Vision of the Four Beastsgenerated
Daniel 7:24 describes the ten horns as ten kings who will emerge from a specific kingdom, indicating a future political landscape. Following these kings, another distinct king will arise, who will have the power to subdue three of the existing kings. This passage is part of a larger vision that reveals the fate of earthly kingdoms and their rulers, emphasizing the transient nature of human authority in contrast to God's eternal kingdom.

Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb יְקֻמ֑וּן (they will arise) governs the clause, with several noun phrases detailing the subjects and objects involved: ten kings and another king. The structure emphasizes the sequence of events in the rise of these rulers.
The sentence flows from the identification of the ten kings to the introduction of another king, highlighting the transition from one set of rulers to another, which is a critical aspect of the prophetic vision.

The Septuagint translates יְקֻמ֑וּן as στήσονται (stēsontai), which carries a similar meaning of standing or arising. This choice reflects the translators' emphasis on the establishment of authority.
The choice of στήσονται indicates a focus on the act of rising to power, aligning with the prophetic theme of the text.

The phrase "three days and three nights," Mt 12:40, was equivalent in Hebrew to the English "three days;" the Jews employing the expression "a day and a night" to denote our "day" of twentyfour hours. Nor did "three days," 1Sa 30:13, literally "this third day," according to their usage, necessarily include the whole of three days, but a part of three days, a continuous period including one whole day of twenty-four hours, and a portion of the day preceding it and the day following it. Compare Ge 7:12,17 1Sa 30:12-13.
