Thus the innocent blood was saved the same day. 61 And they arouse against the two elders, for Daniel had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth: 62 And according to the law of Moses they did unto them in such sort as they maliciously intended to do to their neighbor: and they put them to death. Verse 60 – 64: ”With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and praise God, who saveth them that trust in him. And we see that Daniel had an honorable reputation as a result of helping to save Susanna from death. The second elder responds by saying: 58”… Under a holm tree.”Įveryone sees that the elders had falsely accused Susanna, and they were sentenced to death instead. Verse 54: “Now then, if thou hast seen her, tell me, Under what tree sawest thou them companying together? Who answered, Under a mastic tree.” He asks under what tree did this alleged act of adultery occurred. 45 Therefore when he was led to be put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth whose name was Daniel.Ĥ8 So he standing in the midst of them said, “Are ye such fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel?”ĭaniel proceeds to cross-examine the two elders separately to see if their stories line up. Verses 42 – 45 48: “Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said, O everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest all things before they be: 43 Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me, and, behold, I must die whereas I never did such things as these men have maliciously invented against me. He says that it was shameful that the leaders didn’t examine to see if the claims were true.

In response, God stirs up the heart of Daniel. While being led to her death, Susanna cried out to the Lord for help.
