The Debate of the Three Bodyguards

3 Now King Darius gave a great banquet for all that were under him, all that were born in his house, and all the nobles of Media and Persia, ² and all the satraps and generals and governors that were under him in the hundred and twenty-seven satrapies from India to Ethiopia. ³ They ate and drank, and when they were satisfied they went away, and King Darius went to his bedroom; he went to sleep, but woke up again.
