The story of Susannah and the Elders is taken from the Old Testament Apocrypha (Susannah 15-24). As the beautiful and virtuous Susannah bathes in her garden, she is startled by two lustful elders, who threaten to accuse her of adultery if she does not submit to them. Susannah refuses and is falsely accused, but her innocence is proven by the young Daniel and she is saved.
