63. But Hilkiah and his wife praised God for their daughter, Susanna, with Joakim, her husband, and all her relatives, because there had been found in her no disgrace.
64. And so Daniel became great in the sight of the people from that day, and thereafter.
65. And king Astyages was laid to rest with his fathers. And Cyrus the Persian received his kingdom.
