27
And when the elders told their tale, the servants were greatly ashamed, for nothing like this had ever been said about Susanna.
28
The next day, when the people gathered at the house of her husband Joakim, the two elders came, full of their wicked plot to have Susanna put to death.
29
They said before the people, "Send for Susanna, the daughter of Hilkiah, who is the wife of Joakim."
30
So they sent for her. And she came, with her parents, her children, and all her kindred.
31
Now Susanna was a woman of great refinement, and beautiful in appearance.
