And here it faced to the father of the darling, is disturbing listening attentively to sounding of own words:
Give for me the daughter, Susannu.
Iezekija has felt that now will die, but it is still live, and has there and then regretted about it.
No, he has uttered indistinctly, feeling, as the earth leaves from under feet, and lightnings direct to it from gornih heights.
Whether on this place of all he some days ago admonished Susannu to go to an imperial palace, to return sumu with
parchments vysokomudromu to Daniel? Whether he dreamt of palaces and chariots in the nice city of Erushalaime? Palaces
have dissipated in a dust, as that children build of sand, or from air - deserted genies. The chariot has turned over in full
operation, and it has fallen from it down to the ground definitively to get rid of ambitious plans, precisely unreasonable son
ellinskogo god, Geliosa.
Iezekija it was ready to give last coin, and can, even, and a life for a tsarevitch, but Susanna... Iezekija even could not
imagine that will begin, when will be found out, its beauty the daughter is however vicious! To think only, having forgotten
about decency and cleanliness, to accept in the rooms of the lover, moreover under the nose of the father.
JA. I can not give it for you, Daniel, with groan has squeezed out it. Not gnevis, it above my forces.
The flame of sacrificial fire uplifted to a throne of Marduka of a fragrance of the fried lamb. Gaumata as anybody, knew that
gods will quite be sated with aromas, and fresh juicy meat will go on a satisfying of its hunger and numerous attendants. So
was always. As passed from father to son between priests, even when Marduk accepted a tangible image, he never
mentioned sacrificial lambs and the bulls, brought to it in vsesozhzhenie for last years.
To tell the truth, the Supreme priest in general doubted, whether Marduku of a gift but as differently was to remind all to this
biped, esteeming reasonable beings that god terrible and fair the lord over them are necessary. Gaumata peered in dancing
on zhervtennike a flame, as if searching in it of the answer what to do to it, the Supreme priest. He saw, how the crowd now
exulted, proclaiming glory to god eboreev. Heard, how extols its force so as if Marduk has already left Babylon, as
zaklejmennyj the market pilferer. It again drove a finger under tables of star ways, reflecting on the future. Stars told about an
estimate of harvest, foretold Valtasaru loud military glory, promised a long century to the Babylon kingdom. But it sokrovenynj
the question and remained without the answer. In unsuccessful day it has taken a place of the Supreme priest.
Certainly, still there was a hope that the plan offered by Nidintu-Belu, will appear successful that Daniel, having gone with the
tsar to a campaign, will lay down there the inutile life. But it was only the hope, and the true concluded on sacrificial fire, did
not hasten to show at all itself to the world.
