Daniel 6:18-24
18ThenH116 the kingH4430 wentH236 to his palaceH1965 and spentH1006 theH1006 nightH1006 1fastingH2908, and noH3809 entertainmentH1761 was broughtH5954 beforeH6925 him; and his 2sleepH8139 fledH5075 from him.
19ThenH116 the kingH4430 gotH6966 upH6966 at dawnH8238, at the breakH5053 ofH5053 dayH5053, and wentH236 in a hurryH927 to the lions’H744 denH1358. 20And when he had comeH7127 nearH7127 the denH1358 to DanielH1841, he criedH2200 outH2200 with a troubledH6088 voiceH7032. The kingH4430 beganH6032 speakingH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, “DanielH1841, servantH5649 of the livingH2417 GodH426, has 3your GodH426, whomH1768 you continuallyH8411 serveH6399, beenH3202 4ableH3202 to rescueH7804 you from the lionsH744?” 21ThenH116 DanielH1841 spokeH4449 5to the kingH4430, “6O kingH4430, liveH2418 foreverH5957! 22My GodH426 7sentH7972 His angelH4398 and 8shutH5463 the lions’H744 mouthsH6433, and they have not harmedH2255 me, sinceH6903H1768 9I was foundH7912 innocentH2136 beforeH6925 Him; and alsoH638 10towardH6925 you, O kingH4430, I have committedH5648 noH3809 crimeH2248.” 23ThenH116 the kingH4430 was veryH7690 gladH2868 and gaveH560 ordersH560 for DanielH1841 to be liftedH5559 upH5559 out of the denH1358. So DanielH1841 was liftedH5559 upH5559 out of the denH1358, and 11noH3606H3809 injuryH2257 whateverH3606 was foundH7912 on him, becauseH1768 he had 12trustedH540 in his GodH426. 24The kingH4430 then gaveH560 ordersH560, and they broughtH858 thoseH479 menH1400 whoH1768 had 13maliciouslyH399H7170 accusedH399H7170 DanielH1841, and they 14threwH7412 them, their 15childrenH1123, and their wivesH5389 into the lions’H744 denH1358; and they had not reachedH4291 the bottomH773 of the denH1358 beforeH5705H1768 the lionsH744 overpoweredH7981 them and crushedH1855 allH3606 their bonesH1635.
