62 Therefore he put forth his hand and raised the king from the earth, and said unto him, Stand: and he stood upon his feet, receiving his strength.
63 Now this was done in the presence of the queen, and many of the servants. And when they saw it, they greatly marveled, and began to fear.
64 And the king stood forth and began to minister unto them. And he did minister unto them insomuch that his whole household were converted unto the Lord.
