Daniel 6:18-24

18Then the kingH4430 went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music broughtH858 before him: and his sleep fled from him.

19ThenH116 the kingH4430 arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. 20And when he came near unto the denH1358 to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice; the kingH4430 spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lionsH744? 21Then saidH560 DanielH1841 unto the kingH4430, O kingH4430, live for ever. 22My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O kingH4430, have I done no hurt. 23Then was the kingH4430 exceeding glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was foundH7912 upon him, because he had trusted in his GodH426.

24And the kingH4430 commanded, and they brought those men that had accused DanielH1841, and they cast them into the denH1358 of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the denH1358.
