Susannah
in Jewish history, the wife of Joakim, the tribe of Judah.
She followed her husband to Babylon as a captive. Two elders or judges of Israel endeavored to seduce her, and, failing in their object, they accused her of adultery. She was condemned to death; but Daniel obtained a reversal of the sentence and succeeded in establishing her innocence. This is stated to have occurred in Babylon about 600 в. c.
