Daniel by Daniel (-1900)
The Book of Daniel is a work of the Hebrew Bible. It is part of the Ketuvim ("Writings") and tells the story of Daniel, a righteous Jew who is taken into captivity in Babylon. The book is divided into two main parts. The first part tells the story of Daniel's life in Babylon, including his interpretation of dreams and visions. The second part is a collection of apocalyptic visions, including the famous vision of the four beasts. The book is traditionally attributed to the prophet Daniel, though modern scholars believe it was written in the second century BCE. It is an important source of Jewish and Christian theology, and its influence can be seen in the New Testament.

In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
