Two of the expatriates who regularly visited the park were elders and judges who, though held in high esteem, allowed lustful thoughts toward Susanna to enter their minds. It was in this park that Susanna would walk, and sometimes bathe after the area was secured and locked by her servants.
Her husband owned much property, which included a park, and he opened it for use by fellow exiled people.
10 According to Bible encyclopedias, she was a believer in God and a beautiful and devoted wife to Joakim, a high priest, and lived in Babylon during the early years of exile. Before punishment, she was saved by Daniel after he received a divine revelation. Susanna was married and falsely accused of adultery. This story’s style, along with the one about Bel, will probably seem somewhat familiar to you, as it has many of the characteristics found in modern detective mysteries. The story of Susanna (Daniel 13 in the Catholic Bible) is a prologue in some early manuscripts, so it’s logical position should be before Daniel 1.

7 No matter what is said of these books, pro or con, my opinion is the same as that of Martin Luther when he wrote, “the Apocrypha - that is, books which are not regarded as equal to the holy Scriptures. Various types of literature are represented by the Apocrypha and the purpose of them seems to be to fill in some of the gaps left out by the regular books and to carry the history of Israel into second century BC. The Protestant Bible contains the smallest number of Old Testament books, 6 but these Bibles can also be purchased with the additional books added, which are usually located between the old and new testament sections. 5 Although this Greek term implies ‘hidden books’ or ‘lost books’, this is not really true, for they have, for the most part, been known for a very long time, just not always considered canonical by all Christians.
