The Song of songs, which is Solomon's.

When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?"

They ministered with song before the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, until Solomon had built The LORD's house in Jerusalem. They performed the duties of their office according to their order.

They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.

They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,"Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty!Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.

For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother;'Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9

Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

But when you see the abomination of desolation,Daniel 9:17; 11:31; 12:11spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,

"When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation,Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),

because an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting of dreams, showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."

Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel was in the king's gate.

Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you."

Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Are you that Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?

Solomon was told, "Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for, behold, he is hanging onto the horns of the altar, saying, 'Let king Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.'"

So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."

Solomon built the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

The LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.

Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn't anything hidden from Solomon which he didn't tell her.

King Solomon was told, "Joab has fled to The LORD's Tent, and behold, he is by the altar." Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, "Go, fall on him."

Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the Tent, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet; and all the people said, "Long live king Solomon!"

Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.

So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.

You see their sitting down and their rising up.I am their song.

Yah is my strength and song.He has become my salvation.

Those officers provided food for king Solomon, and for all who came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month. They let nothing be lacking.

When Solomon had finished the building of The LORD's house, the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,

"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'You shall not murder;'Exodus 20:13and 'Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.'

'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' Moses trembled, and dared not look.Exodus 3:6

I will praise the name of God with a song,and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

Those who sit in the gate talk about me.I am the song of the drunkards.

I have become a derision to all my people,and their song all day long.

I remember my song in the night.I consider in my own heart;my spirit diligently inquires:

You know the commandments: 'Don't commit adultery,' 'Don't murder,' 'Don't steal,' 'Don't give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your mother.'"Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20

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

though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness," says the Lord God.

He instructed me, and talked with me, and said, Daniel, "I have now come to give you wisdom and understanding.

Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before The LORD's house holy; for there he offered the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat.

When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me something like the appearance of a man.

"As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. I told the dream before him, saying,

The king answered Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?"

Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king should suffer no loss.

Daniel spoke and said, "I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke out on the great sea.

Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.

Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, The LORD, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation."

The LORD is my strength and my shield.My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped.Therefore my heart greatly rejoices.With my song I will thank him.

As the heat in a dry place will you bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.

Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue him.

But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many will run back and forth, and knowledge will be increased."

The king answered to Daniel, and said, "Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret."

'Awake, awake, Deborah!Awake, awake, utter a song!Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.'

I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me didn't see the vision; but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.

Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.

"Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my face was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart."

The multitude answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say,Isaiah 9:7; Daniel 2:44 (but see also Isaiah 53:8)'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"

A stone was brought, and laid on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
