Thematic Bible: Darius, in deifying himself


Thematic Bible



All the ministers of the kingdom, the nobles and satraps, the near friends and the pashas, have consulted together, to establish a royal statute, and to confirm an interdict, - That, whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man, for thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

Wherefore, King Darius, signed the writing and the interdict.
