Daniel 5:28-31

28‘1Perēs’--your kingdom has been divided and given to the 2Medes and 3Persians.”

29Then Belshazzar gave orders, and they 4clothed 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 third ruler in the kingdom.

30That same night 5Belshazzar the Chaldean king was 6killed. 317So 8Darius the Mede received the kingdom at about the age of sixty-two.
