"O thou God of heaven, thou art just in all thy ways!
But are the members of my family spared to see the restoration of the
king?"
"They are all spared and in good health, O king, and will be overjoyed to
see thee restored to thy throne."
"Jehovah is the only God! He ruleth among the armies of the heavens, and
the inhabitants of the earth. Let all nations praise the God of Israel!
But come, Belteshazzar, let us bend our footsteps towards the palace."
Daniel threw one of his loose garments over the almost naked form of the
king, side by side, they started towards the palace royal. On their way
thither, they were met by the captain of the guard. The old soldier was
overwhelmed with joy to hear once more the familiar voice of his beloved
king. He fell before him, and would have embraced his feet if permitted.
He begged of the king to remain where he was with Belteshazzar, and
permit him to hasten to the palace to herald the joyful news, and return
with the king's old guard to escort him home.
