1 Esdras 3:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵ “Let each of us state what one thing is strongest; and to him whose statement seems wisest, Darius the king will give rich gifts and great honors of victory. ⁶ He shall be clothed in purple, and drink from gold cups, and sleep on a gold bed, and have a chariot with gold bridles, and a turban of fine linen, and a necklace about his neck; ⁷ and because of his wisdom he shall sit next to Darius and shall be called kinsman of Darius.”
