Daniel 6:16-24 16 Then H116 the king H4430 commanded , and they brought Daniel, and cast [ him ] into the den of lions. The king H4430 spoke and said H560 unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will save thee. 17 And a stone was brought H858 , and laid upon the mouth of the den H1358 ; and the king H4430 sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his nobles, that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel H1841 . 18 Then the king H4430 went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were concubines brought H858 before him; and his sleep fled from him. 19 Then H116 the king H4430 arose with the light at break of day, and went in haste unto the den of lions. 20 And when he came near unto the den H1358 , he cried with a mournful voice unto Daniel: the king H4430 spoke and said unto Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God whom thou servest continually been able to save thee from the lions H744 ? 22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocence was found in me; and also before thee, O king H4430 , have I done no hurt. 23 Thereupon was the king H4430 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 found H7912 upon him , because he believed in his God H426 . 24 And the king H4430 commanded , and they brought those men who had accused Daniel H1841 , and cast them into the den H1358 of lions, them , their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them , and broke all their bones in pieces ere they came to the bottom of the den H1358 .
