III. 1 The King setteth vp a golden image 8 Certeine are accused because thei despised the Kings commandement and are put into a burning ouen 25 By belefe in God they are deliuered frō the fyre 26 Nebuchad-nezzar confesseth the power of God after the sight of the miracle 1 NEbuchad-nezzár the King made an image of golde whose height was threscore cubites and the breadth ther of six cubites he set it vp in the plaine of Durá in the prouince of Babél 2 Then Nebuchad-nezzár the King sent for the to gather together the nobles the princes and the dukes the iudges the receiuers the counsullers the officers and all the gouerners of the prouinces that they shulde come to the dedicatiō of the image which Nebuchad-nezzár the King had set vp 3 So the nobles princes and dukes the iud ges the receiuers the counsellers the officers and all the gouerners of the prouin ces were assembled vnto the dedicating of the image that Nebuchad-nezzár the King had set vp and they stode before the image which Nebuchad-nezzár had set vp 4 Then an herald cryed aloud Be it knowen to you ô people nations and langages 5 That when ye heare the soūde of the cornet trumpet harpe sacke but psalteris dulcimer and all iustruments of musicke ye fall downe and worship the goldē image that Nebuchad 〈◊〉 the King hathe set vp 6 And whosoeuer falleth not downe and worshippeth shal the same houre be cast into the middes of an hote fyrie fornace 7 Therefore assone as all the people heard the sound of the cornet trumpet harpe sackebut psalterie and all instruments of musicke all the people nations and langa ges fel downe and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchad-nezzár the King had set vp 8 ¶ By reason whereof at that same time co me men of the Caldeans and grieuously ac cused the Iewes 9 For they spake and said to the King Nebuchad-nezzár O King liue for euer 10 Thou ô King hast made a decre that euerie man that shal heare the sound of the cornet trumpet harpes sacke but psalterie and dulcimer and all instrumēts of musicke shal fall downe and worship the golden image 11 And who soeuer falleth not downe and worshippeth that he shulde be cast into the middes of an hote fyrie fornace 12 There are certeine Iewes whome thou hast set ouer the charge of the prouince of Babél Shadrách Meshà ch and Abednego these men ô King haue not regarded thy commandement nether wil they serue thy gods nor worship the golden image that thou hast set vp 13 ¶ Then Nebuchad-nezzár in his angre and wrath commanded that they shulde bring Shadrách Meshách and Abednegó so these men were broght before the King 14 And Nebuchad-nezzár spake and said vnto them What disordre wil not you Shadrách Meshách ād Abednegó serue my god nor worship the golden image that I haue set vp 15 Now therefore are ye ready when ye hea re the sound of the cornet trumpet harpe sackebut psalterie and dulcimer and all instruments of musicke to fall downe and wor ship the image which I haue made for if ye worship it not ye shal be cast immediatly into the middes of an hote firie fornace for who is that God that can deliuer you out of mine hands 16 Shadrách Meshách and Abednegó answe red and said to the King O Nebuchadnezzár we are not careful to answer thee in this matter 17 Beholde our God whome we serue is able to deliuer vs from the hote fyrie for nace and he wil deliuer vs out of thine hand ô King 18
But if not be it knowē to thee ô King that we wil not serue thy gods nor worship the golden image which thou hast set vp 19 ¶ Then was Nebuchad-nezzár ful of rage and the forme of his visage was changed against 〈◊〉 Meshách and Abednegó therefore he charged and commanded that they shulde heate the fornace at once seuen times more then it was wonte to be heat 20 And he charged the moste valiant men of warre that were in his armie to binde Shadrach Meshách and Abednegó to cast them into the hote fyrie fornace 21 So these men were bounde in their coates their hosen their clokes with their other garments and cast into the middes of the hote fyrie fornace 22 Therefore because the Kings commandement was straite that the fornace shulde be exceading hote the flame of the fyre slew those men that broght forthe Shadrach Meshách and Abednegó 23 And these thre men Shadrách Meshách and Abednegó fel downe bounde into 〈◊〉 middes of the hote fyrie fornace 24 ¶ Them Nebuchad-nezzár the King was astonied rose vp in haste and spake said vnto his counsellers Did not we cast thre men bounde into the middes of the fyre Who answered and said vnto the King It is true ô King 25 And he answered and said Lo I se foure men loose walking in the middes of the fyre and they haue no hurt and the forme of the fourth is like the sonne of God 26 Then the King Nebuchad-nezzár came nere to the mouth of the hote fyrie forna ce spake and said Shadrách Meshách and Abednegó the seruants of the hie God go forthe and come hether so Shadrách Meshách and Abednegó came forthe of the middes of the fyre 27 Then the nobles princes and dukes and the Kings counsellers came to gether to se these men because the fyre had no power ouer their bodies for not an heere of their head was burnt nether was their coats changed nor any smel of fyre came vpon them 28 Wherefore Nebuchad-nezzár spake said Blessed be the God of Shadrách Meshách and Abednegó who hathe sent his Angel and deliuered his seruants that put their trust in him and haue chāged the Kings commandement and yelded their bodies rather thē thei wolde serue or worship anie god saue their owne God 29 Therefore I make a decre that euery peo ple nacion and langage whiche speake any blasphemie against the God of Shadrách Meshách and Abednegó shal be drawen in pieces and their houses shal be made a iakes because there is no god that can deliuer after this sorte 30 Then the King promoted Shadráche Meshách and Abednegó in the prouince of Babél 31 Nebuchad-nezzár King vnto all people nacions and langages that dwell in all the worlde Peace be multiplied vnto you 32 I thoght it good to declare the signes and wonders that the hie God hathe wroght towarde me 33 How great are his signes and how mightie are his wonders his kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome and his dominion is from generacion to generacion CHAP. IIII. 2 Another dreame of Nebuchad-nezzár whiche Daniél declareth 29 The Prophet declareth how of a proude King he shulde become as a beast 31 After he confesseth the power of God and is restored to his former dig nitie 1 I Nebuchad-nezzár being at rest in mine house and flourishing in my palace 2 Sawe a dreame which made me a fraied and the thoghtes vpon my bed and the visions of mine head troubled me 3 Therefore made I a decre that th ei shulde bring all the wise men of Babél before me that they might declare vnto me the inter pretacion of the dreame 4 So came the enchanters the astrologians the Caldeans and the south sayers to whome I tolde the dreame but they colde not shewe me the interpretacion thereof 5 Til at the last Daniél came before me whose name was Belte shazzár according to the name of my god which hathe the spirit of the holy gods in him and befo re him I tolde the dreame saying 6 O Belteshazzár chief of the enchanters because I knowe that the spirit of the holy gods isin thee no secret troubleth thee tel me the visions of my dreame that I haue sene and the interpretacion thereof 7 Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed And beholde I sa we a tre in the middes of the earth and the height thereof was great 8 A great tre and strong and the height the reofreached vnto heauen and the sight thereof to the ends of all the earth 9 The boughes thereof were faire and the frute thereof muche and in it was meat for all it made a shadowe vnder it for the beastes of the field and the foules of the heauen dwelt in the boughs thereof and all flesh fed of it 10 I sawe in the visions of mine head vpon my bed and beholde a watchemanand an holy one came downe from heauen 21 And cryed aloude and said thus Hewe downe the tre and breake of his brāches shake of his leaues and scattre his frute that the beasts may flee from vnder it and the foules from his branches 12 Neuertheles leaue the stumpe of his rootes in the earth and with a band of yron and brasse binde it among the grasse of the field and let it be wet with the dewe of heauen and let his porcion be with the beastes among the grasse of the field 13 Let his heart be changed from mans nature and let a beastes heart be giuen vnto him and let seuen times be passed ouerhim 14 The sentence is according to the decre of the watchemen and according to the worde of the holy ones the demande was answered to the intēt that liuing mē may knowe that the moste high hathe power ouer the kingdome of men giueth it to whome soeuer he wil and appointeth ouer it the moste abiect among men 15 This is the dreame that I King Nebuchad-nezzár haue sene therefore thou ô Belte shazzár declare the interpretacion thereof for all the wise men of my kingdome are not able to shewe me the interpreta cion but thou art able for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee 16 ¶ Then Daniél whose name was Belteshazzár held his peace by the space of one houre and his thoghts troubled him and the King spake said Belteshazzár let nether the dreame nor the interpretacion thereof trouble thee Belteshazzár answered andsaid My lord the dreame be to them that hate thee and the interpretacion thereof to thine enemies 17 The tre that thou sawest which was great and mightie whose height teached vnto the heauen and the sight thereof through all the worlde 18 Whose leaues were faire and the frute the reof muche and in it was meat for all vnder the which the beasts of the field dwelt and vpon whose brāches the foules of the heauen did sit 19 It is
pator 18 Now they that were in the castle at Ierusalém kept in the Israelites rounde about the Sanctuarie soght alwaies their hurt and the strengthening of the heathen 19 Therefore Iudas thoght no destroy them and called all the people together to besie ge them 20 So they came together and besieged thē in the hundreth and fiftie yere and made instruments to shoote and other engins of warre 21 But certeine of them that were besieged gate forthe vnto whome some vngodlie men of Israél ioyned them selues 22 And they went vnto the King saying How long wilt thou cease from executing iudge ment and aduenge our brethren 23 We haue bene readie to serue thy father to go forowarde in those things that he appointed to obey his commandements 24 Therefore they of our nacions fel from vs for this cause and wheresoeuer they foun deanie of vs they slewe them and spoyled our inheritance 25 And thei haue not onely laied hand vpon vs but vpon all about their borders 26 And beholde 〈◊〉 this day are they besieging the castle at Ierusalem to take it and haue fortified the Sanctuarie and Beth-sura 27 And if thou doest not preuent them quickely thei wil do greater things then these and thou shalt not be able to ouercome them 28 When the King heard this he was verie an grie and called all his friēds the captai nes of his armie and his horsemen 29 And bādes that were hired came vnto him from the Kings that were confederate from theyles of the sea 30 So the nomber of his armie was and hundreth thousand fote men and twentie thou sand horsemen and two and thirtie elephā tes exercised in battel 31 These came through Idumea drewe nere to Beth-sura and besieged it a long season and made engins of warre but thei came out and burnt them with fyre and foght valiantly 32 Then departed Iudas from the castle and remoued the hoste towarde Beth-zacarias ouer against the Kings campe 33 So the King arose verie earely and broght the armie and his power towarde the way of Beth-zacarias where the armies set them selues inarray to the battel and blewe the trumpets 34 And to prouoke the elephātes for to fight thei shewed them the blood of grapes and mulberies 35 And they set the beasts according to the ranges so that by euerie elephant there sto de a thousand men armed with coates of mailes and helmets of brasse vpon their heads and vnto euerie beastwere or deined fiue hundreth horsemen of the best 36 Which were readie at all times wheresoeuer the beast was and whet hersoeuer the beast went they went also and departed not from him 37 And vpon them were strong towres of wood that couered euerie beast which were fastened thereon with instruments and vpon euerie one was two and thirtie men that foght in them and the Indian that ruled him 38 They set also the remnant of the horsemen vpon bothe the sides in two wings of the hoste to stirre them vp and to kepe them in the valleis 39 And when the sunne shone vpon the golden shields the mountaines glistered there with and gaue light as lampes of fyre 40 Thus parte of the Kings armie was spred vpō the hie mountaines and parte beneth so they marched forowarde warely and in order 41 And all they that heard the noyce of their multitude and the marching of the companie and the ratteling of the harneswere a stonished for the armie was verie great and mightie 42 Then Iudas and his hoste entred into the battel and thei slewe six hundreth men of the Kings armie 43 ¶ Now when Eleazar the sonne of Abaron sawe one of the elephātes armed with royal harnes and was more excellent then all the other beasts he thoght that the King shulde be vpon him 44 Wherefore he ieoparded him self to deliuer his people and to get him a perpetual name 45 And ranne boldely vnto him through the middes of the hoste slaying on the right hand and on the left so that thei departed away on bothe sides 46 So went he to the elephantes fete and gate him vnder him and slewe him then fel the elephant downe vpon him and there he dyed 47 But the other seing the power of the King and the fiercenes of his armie depar ted from them 48 ¶ And the Kings armie went vp to mete them towarde Ierusalém and the King pit 〈◊〉 his tents in Iudea towarde moūt Sion 49 Moreouer the King toke truce with thē that were in Beth-sura but whē they came out of the citie because they had no vitailes there and were shut vp therein and the land had rested 50 The King toke Beth-sura and set there a garison to kepe it 51 And besieged the Sanctuarie many dayes and made instruments to shoote and other engins of warre and instruments to cast fyre and stones and pieces to cast dartes slings 52 〈◊〉 Thei also made engins against their engins and foght a long season 53 But in the garners there were no vitailes for it was the seuenth yere and then they that were in Iudea and were deliuered frō the Gentiles had eatē vp the residue of the store 54 So that in the Sanctuarie were fewe men left for the famine came so vpon thē that they were scattered euerie man to his owne place 55 ¶ Now when Lysias heard that Philippe whome Antiochus the King whiles he liued had ordeined to bring vp Antiochus his sonne that he might be King 56 Was come againe out of Persia and Media and the Kings hoste with him thoght to take vnto him the rule of things 57 He and his hasted and were stirred forwar de by them in the castel to go and tell the King and the captaines of the hoste and to others saying We decrease dayly and our vitailes are but smale the place that we laye siege vnto is strong and the affaires of the realme depende vpon vs. 58 Now therefore let vs agre with these men and take truce with them and withall their nacion 59 And grante them to liue after their Law as they did a fore for they be grieued and do all these things because we haue broken their Lawes 60 So the King and the princes were content and sent vnto them to make peace they receiued it 61 Whē the King the princes had made an othe vnto them they came vpon this out of the forteresse 62 And the King went vp to mount Sion but when he sawe that the place was wel defen sed he brake his othe that he had made commanded to breake downe the wall rounde about 63 Then departed he in all haste and returned
