Talált 2219 Eredmények: King Cyrus
Then, by the king’s command, Daniel was dressed with purple, and a chain of gold was placed around his neck, and it was proclaimed of him that he held power as the third in the kingdom. (Daniel 5, 29)
That same night, king Belshazzar the Chaldean was killed. (Daniel 5, 30)
And over these, three leaders, of whom Daniel was one, so that the governors would be accountable to them and the king would have no trouble. (Daniel 6, 2)
Furthermore, the king considered setting him over the entire kingdom; whereupon the leaders and the governors sought to find a complaint against Daniel and in favor of the king. And they could find no case, or even suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault or suspicion was found in him. (Daniel 6, 4)
Then the leaders and governors took the king aside privately and spoke to him in this way: “King Darius, live forever. (Daniel 6, 6)
All the leaders of your kingdom, the magistrates and governors, the senators and judges, have taken counsel that an imperial decree and edict should be published, so that all who ask any petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, will be cast into the den of lions. (Daniel 6, 7)
Now, therefore, O king, confirm this judgment and write the decree, so that what is established by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor will any man be allowed to transgress it.” (Daniel 6, 8)
And so king Darius set forth the decree and established it. (Daniel 6, 9)
And they approached and spoke to the king about the edict. “O king, did you not decree that every man who makes a request to any of the gods or men for thirty days, except to yourself, O king, would be cast into the den of lions?” To which the king replied, saying, “The sentence is true, and according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, it is not lawful to violate it.” (Daniel 6, 12)
Then they answered and said before the king, “Daniel, of the sons of the captivity of Judah, is not concerned about your law, nor about the decree that you have established, but three times a day he prays his supplication.” (Daniel 6, 13)
Now when the king had heard these words, he was greatly grieved, and, on behalf of Daniel, he set his heart to free him, and he labored even until sunset to rescue him. (Daniel 6, 14)
But these men, knowing the king, said to him, “You know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that every decree which the king has established may not be altered.” (Daniel 6, 15)
