Daniel 11:21-23
EasyEnglish Bible
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. 22 He will quickly destroy any army that tries to attack him. He will even kill the leader of God's covenant.[a] 23 He will agree to be friends with other leaders. But then he will deceive them. He will become more and more powerful, but he will rule only a few people.
