Dan 5:11There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and the king Nevukhadnetztzar your father, the king, I say, your father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Kasdim, and soothsayers;

Dan 5:12

Dan 5:19
