1 THERE lived a man in Babylon, and his name was Joakim:
2 and he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Helkias, a very fair woman, and one that feared the Lord.
3 Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter according to the law of Moses.
4 Now Joakim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden joining to his house: and to him resorted the Jews; because he was more honorable than all others.
