Daniel 11:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ “The next king after him will send someone out to collect taxes. The taxes will help maintain the glory of his kingdom. But in a few years the king will be destroyed. It will not happen because someone becomes angry with him or kills him in battle.

²¹ “After him, another king will take his place. Many people will hate him. He will not be honored as a king should be. He will lead an army into the kingdom when its people feel secure. He will make clever plans to capture it. ²² Then he will sweep away a huge army. The army and a prince of the covenant will be destroyed.
