Chapter 90

¹ For the king, having heard the writing and its interpretation, was grieved at what had been said, but he commanded that Daniel be clothed in purple and that he be third ruler in the kingdom.

² In that very night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain, and Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being sixty-two years old. —

³ And the interpretation having been resolved by Daniel, as the Scripture relates, in that very night both the word was fulfilled and the kingdom of the Babylonians passed to the Medes, even as it had been spoken by Daniel: He sets up kings and removes them, knowing the things in the darkness, and the light is with him.
