Daniel 5:28-31

28‘Perēs’--your kingdom has been divided and given over to the 1Medes and 2Persians.”

29Then Belshazzar gave orders, and they 3clothed Daniel with purple and put a necklace of gold around his neck, and issued a proclamation concerning him that he now had authority as the 4third ruler in the kingdom.

30That same night 5Belshazzar the Chaldean king was 6slain. 31 7So 8Darius the Mede received the kingdom at about the age of sixty-two.
