Joakim married the daughter of Hilkiah, named Susanna, a very beautiful woman and one who feared the Lord. Joakim was very rich, and had a fine garden adjoining his house; the Jews used to come to him because he was the most honoured of them all. That year two elders from the people were appointed as judges. Every day the two elders used to see Susanna, going in and walking about, and they began to lust for her.

Joakim was very rich; he had a garden near his house, and the Jews had recourse to him often because he was the most respected of them all.

Nobody else was there except the two elders, who had hidden themselves and were watching her. As soon as the maids had left, the two old men got up and hurried to her.

At the accusations by the old men, the servants felt very much ashamed, for never had any such thing been said about Susanna. When the people came to her husband Joakim the next day, the two wicked elders also came, fully determined to put Susanna to death. All her relatives and the onlookers were weeping.
