Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the children of Asshur, after whom she lusted.

She lusted after the children of Asshur her neighbours, governors and rulers, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them attractive young men.

The children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all the children of Asshur with them; all of them attractive young men, governors and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.

There is Asshur and all his assemblage, his graves round about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword;

Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

And the prince of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar, and to Hananiah, Shadrach, and to Mishael, Meshach, and to Azariah, Abed-nego.
