Daniel 11:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ So the king of the north will return to the strong cities in his own country. But he will lose his power and he will fall. Nobody will ever see him again.

²⁰ Then another king will rule in the north. He will try to make his kingdom even greater. He will send out a cruel man to take taxes from people. But that king will soon die. This will not happen in a battle or because people are angry with him.

The evil king of the north

²¹ The king who rules after him will be an evil man. He will not belong to the royal family, so he should not be the king. He will deceive people to make himself the king. It will happen at a time when people think that they are safe.
