Daniel 5:28--6:28

PERES
<06537> (8752)_;
Thy kingdom
<04437>
is divided
<06537> (8752)_,
and given
<03052> (8753)
to the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>_.
Then
<0116>
commanded
<0560> (8754)
Belshazzar
<01113>_,
and they clothed
<03848> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>
with scarlet
<0711>_,
and [put] a chain
<02002>
of gold
<01722>
about
<05922>
his neck
<06676>_,
and made a proclamation
<03745> (8684)
concerning
<05922>
him, that he should be
<01934> (8748)
the third
<08531>
ruler
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>_.
In that night
<03916>
was Belshazzar
<01113>
the king
<04430>
of the Chaldeans
<03779>
slain
<06992> (8752)_.
And Darius
<01868>
the Median
<04077>
took
<06902> (8745)
the kingdom
<04437>_,
[being] about threescore
<08361>
and two
<08648>
years
<08140>
old
<01247>_.
{being...: Chaldee, he as the son of, etc} {about: or, now}
It pleased
<06925> <08232> (8754)
Darius
<01868>
to set
<06966> (8684)
over
<05922>
the kingdom
<04437>
an hundred
<03969>
and twenty
<06243>
princes
<0324>_,
which should be
<01934> (8748)
over the whole
<03606>
kingdom
<04437>_;
And over
<05924>
these
<04481>
three
<08532>
presidents
<05632>_;
of whom
<04481>
Daniel
<01841>
[was] first
<02298>_:
that
<0459>
the princes
<0324>
might
<01934> (8748)
give
<03052> (8751)
accounts
<02941>
unto them, and the king
<04430>
should have
<01934> (8748)
no
<03809>
damage
<05142> (8752)_.
Then
<0116>
this
<01836>
Daniel
<01841>
was
<01934> (8754)
preferred
<05330> (8723)
above
<05922>
the presidents
<05632>
and princes
<0324>_,
because
<03606> <06903>
an excellent
<03493>
spirit
<07308>
[was] in him; and the king
<04430>
thought
<06246> (8754)
to set
<06966> (8682)
him over
<05922>
the whole
<03606>
realm
<04437>_.
Then
<0116>
the presidents
<05632>
and princes
<0324>
sought
<01934> (8754) <01156> (8750)
to find
<07912> (8682)
occasion
<05931>
against Daniel
<01841>
concerning
<06655>
the kingdom
<04437>_;
but
<03606>
they could
<03202> (8750)
find
<07912> (8682)
none
<03809>
occasion
<05931>
nor
<03809>
fault
<07844> (8752)_;
forasmuch
<06903>
as he [was] faithful
<0540> (8683)_,
neither
<03809>
was there any
<03606>
error
<07960>
or fault
<07844> (8752)
found
<07912> (8728)
in him
<05922>_.
Then
<0116>
said
<0560> (8750)
these
<0479>
men
<01400>_,
We shall not
<03809>
find
<07912> (8684)
any
<03606>
occasion
<05931>
against
<05922>
this
<01836>
Daniel
<01841>_,
except
<03861>
we find
<07912> (8681)
[it] against him concerning the law
<01882>
of his God
<0426>_.
Then
<0116>
these
<0459>
presidents
<05632>
and princes
<0324>
assembled together
<07284> (8684)
to the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
thus
<03652>
unto him
<05922>_,
King
<04430>
Darius
<01868>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_.
{assembled...: or, came tumultuously}
All
<03606>
the presidents
<05632>
of the kingdom
<04437>_,
the governors
<05460>_,
and the princes
<0324>_,
the counsellors
<01907>_,
and the captains
<06347>_,
have consulted together
<03272> (8724)
to establish
<06966> (8742)
a royal
<04430>
statute
<07010>_,
and to make a firm
<08631> (8742)
decree
<0633>_,
that whosoever shall ask
<01156> (8748)
a petition
<01159>
of
<04481>
any
<03606>
God
<0426>
or man
<0606>
for
<05705>
thirty
<08533>
days
<03118>_,
save
<03861>
of thee
<04481>_,
O king
<04430>_,
he shall be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_.
{decree: or, interdict}
Now
<03705>_,
O king
<04430>_,
establish
<06966> (8681)
the decree
<0633>_,
and sign
<07560> (8748)
the writing
<03792>_,
that it be not
<03809>
changed
<08133> (8682)_,
according to the law
<01882>
of the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>_,
which altereth
<05709> (8748)
not
<03809>_.
{altereth not: Chaldee, passeth not}
Wherefore
<03606> <01836> <06903>
king
<04430>
Darius
<01868>
signed
<07560> (8754)
the writing
<03792>
and the decree
<0633>_.
Now when Daniel
<01841>
knew
<03046> (8754)
that the writing
<03792>
was signed
<07560> (8752)_,
he went
<05954> (8754)
into his house
<01005>_;
and his windows
<03551>
being open
<06606> (8759)
in his chamber
<05952>
toward
<05049>
Jerusalem
<03390>_,
he kneeled
<01289> (8750)
upon
<05922>
his knees
<01291>
three
<08532>
times
<02166>
a day
<03118>_,
and prayed
<06739> (8743)_,
and gave thanks
<03029> (8683)
before
<06925>
his God
<0426>_,
as
<06903> <03606>
he did
<01934> (8754) <05648> (8751)
aforetime
<04481> <01836> <06928>_.
Then
<0116>
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
assembled
<07284> (8684)_,
and found
<07912> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>
praying
<01156> (8750)
and making supplication
<02604> (8723)
before
<06925>
his God
<0426>_.
Then
<0116>
they came near
<07127> (8754)_,
and spake
<0560> (8750)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>
concerning
<05922>
the king's
<04430>
decree
<0633>_;
Hast thou not
<03809>
signed
<07560> (8754)
a decree
<0633>_,
that every
<03606>
man
<0606>
that shall ask
<01156> (8748)
[a petition] of
<04481>
any
<03606>
God
<0426>
or man
<0606>
within
<05705>
thirty
<08533>
days
<03118>_,
save
<03861>
of thee
<04481>_,
O king
<04430>_,
shall be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_?
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
The thing
<04406>
[is] true
<03330>_,
according to the law
<01882>
of the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>_,
which altereth
<05709> (8748)
not
<03809>_.
Then
<0116>
answered
<06032> (8754)
they and said
<0560> (8750)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
That Daniel
<01841>_,
which [is] of
<04481>
the children
<01123>
of the captivity
<01547>
of Judah
<03061>_,
regardeth
<07761> (8754) <02942>
not
<03809>
thee
<05922>_,
O king
<04430>_,
nor the decree
<0633>
that thou hast signed
<07560> (8754)_,
but maketh
<01156> (8750)
his petition
<01159>
three
<08532>
times
<02166>
a day
<03118>_.
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>_,
when he heard
<08086> (8754)
[these] words
<04406>_,
was sore
<07690>
displeased
<0888> (8754)
with himself, and set
<07761> (8754)
[his] heart
<01079>
on
<05922>
Daniel
<01841>
to deliver
<07804> (8756)
him: and he laboured
<01934> (8754) <07712> (8723)
till
<05705>
the going down
<04606>
of the sun
<08122>
to deliver
<05338> (8682)
him.
Then
<0116>
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
assembled
<07284> (8684)
unto
<05922>
the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto the king
<04430>_,
Know
<03046> (8747)_,
O king
<04430>_,
that the law
<01882>
of the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>
[is], That no
<03606>
decree
<0633>
nor statute
<07010>
which the king
<04430>
establisheth
<06966> (8681)
may be changed
<08133> (8682)_.
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
commanded
<0560> (8754)_,
and they brought
<0858> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>_,
and cast
<07412> (8754)
[him] into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_.
[Now] the king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto Daniel
<01841>_,
Thy God
<0426>
whom thou
<0607>
servest
<06399> (8750)
continually
<08411>_,
he will deliver
<07804> (8755)
thee.
And a
<02298>
stone
<069>
was brought
<0858> (8717)_,
and laid
<07761> (8752)
upon
<05922>
the mouth
<06433>
of the den
<01358>_;
and the king
<04430>
sealed
<02857> (8754)
it with his own signet
<05824>_,
and with the signet
<05824>
of his lords
<07261>_;
that the purpose
<06640>
might not
<03809>
be changed
<08133> (8748)
concerning Daniel
<01841>_.
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
went
<0236> (8754)
to his palace
<01965>_,
and passed the night
<0956> (8754)
fasting
<02908>_:
neither
<03809>
were instruments
<01761>
of musick brought
<05954> (8684)
before
<06925>
him: and his sleep
<08139>
went
<05075> (8754)
from him
<05922>_.
{instruments...: or, table}
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
arose
<06966> (8748)
very early
<08238>
in the morning
<05053>_,
and went
<0236> (8754)
in haste
<0927> (8726)
unto the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_.
And when he came
<07127> (8749)
to the den
<01358>_,
he cried
<02200> (8754)
with a lamentable
<06088> (8750)
voice
<07032>
unto Daniel
<01841>_:
[and] the king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to Daniel
<01841>_,
O Daniel
<01841>_,
servant
<05649>
of the living
<02417>
God
<0426>_,
is thy God
<0426>_,
whom thou servest
<06399> (8750)
continually
<08411>_,
able
<03202> (8754)
to deliver
<07804> (8756)
thee from
<04481>
the lions
<0744>_?
Then
<0116>
said
<04449> (8745)
Daniel
<01841>
unto
<05974>
the king
<04430>_,
O king
<04430>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_.
My God
<0426>
hath sent
<07972> (8754)
his angel
<04398>_,
and hath shut
<05463> (8754)
the lions
<0744>_'
mouths
<06433>_,
that they have not
<03809>
hurt
<02255> (8745)
me: forasmuch as
<03606> <06903>
before
<06925>
him innocency
<02136>
was found
<07912> (8728)
in me; and also
<0638>
before
<06925>
thee, O king
<04430>_,
have I done
<05648> (8754)
no
<03809>
hurt
<02248>_.
Then
<0116>
was the king
<04430>
exceeding
<07690>
glad
<02868> (8754)
for him
<05922>_,
and commanded
<0560> (8754)
that they should take
<05267> (0)
Daniel
<01841>
up
<05267> (8682)
out of
<04481>
the den
<01358>_.
So Daniel
<01841>
was taken up
<05267> (8717)
out of
<04481>
the den
<01358>_,
and no
<03809>
manner
<03606>
of hurt
<02257>
was found
<07912> (8728)
upon him, because he believed
<0540> (8684)
in his God
<0426>_.
And the king
<04430>
commanded
<0560> (8754)_,
and they brought
<0858> (8684)
those
<0479>
men
<01400>
which had accused
<0399> (8754) <07170>
Daniel
<01841>_,
and they cast
<07412> (8754)
[them] into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_,
them
<0581>_,
their children
<01123>_,
and their wives
<05389>_;
and the lions
<0744>
had the mastery
<05705> <07981> (8754)
of them, and brake
<01855> (0)
all
<03606>
their bones
<01635>
in pieces
<01855> (8684)
or ever
<03809>
they came
<04291> (8754)
at the bottom
<0773>
of the den
<01358>_.
Then
<0116>
king
<04430>
Darius
<01868>
wrote
<03790> (8754)
unto all
<03606>
people
<05972>_,
nations
<0524>_,
and languages
<03961>_,
that dwell
<01753> (8748)
in all
<03606>
the earth
<0772>_;
Peace
<08001>
be multiplied
<07680> (8748)
unto you.
I
<04481> <06925>
make
<07761> (8752)
a decree
<02942>_,
That in every
<03606>
dominion
<07985>
of my kingdom
<04437>
men tremble
<01934> (8748) <02112>
and fear
<01763> (8751)
before
<04481> <06925>
the God
<0426>
of Daniel
<01841>_:
for he [is] the living
<02417>
God
<0426>_,
and stedfast
<07011>
for ever
<05957>_,
and his kingdom
<04437>
[that] which shall not
<03809>
be destroyed
<02255> (8721)_,
and his dominion
<07985>
[shall be even] unto
<05705>
the end
<05491>_.
He delivereth
<07804> (8757)
and rescueth
<05338> (8683)_,
and he worketh
<05648> (8751)
signs
<0852>
and wonders
<08540>
in heaven
<08065>
and in earth
<0772>_,
who hath delivered
<07804> (8758)
Daniel
<01841>
from
<04481>
the power
<03028>
of the lions
<0744>_.
{power: Chaldee, hand}
So this
<01836>
Daniel
<01841>
prospered
<06744> (8684)
in the reign
<04437>
of Darius
<01868>_,
and in the reign
<04437>
of Cyrus
<03567>
the Persian
<06543>_.
