Daniel 11:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ Then a great king will appear. He will rule with great power. He will do whatever he wants to do.^{[a] 4} While he rules powerfully like that, his kingdom will quickly break into four parts. Those parts will be in all directions. His descendants will not rule his kingdom. Instead, other people will rule as kings, but their kingdoms will not be as powerful.

⁵ Then the king who rules in the south will become strong. But one of his own army officers will become even stronger. That officer will rule a greater kingdom than the king of the south.^[b]
