28 ‘PERES’—your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.” 29 Then Belshazzar gave the command, and Daniel was clothed with purple and a chain of gold was put around his neck, and a proclamation concerning him was issued [declaring] that he now had authority as the third ruler in the kingdom. 30 During that same night Belshazzar the [last] Chaldean king was slain [by troops of the invading army]. 31 So Darius the Mede received the kingdom; he was about the age of sixty-two.
