Also I in the first year of Dari´us the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
And Dari´us the Me´di-an took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
It pleased Dari´us to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
In the first year of Dari´us the son of Ahasue´rus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chalde´ans;
confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
