17And a stone wasbroughtH858, and laid upon the mouth of thedenH1358; and thekingH4430sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerningDanielH1841.

18Then thekingH4430wentH858to his palace, and passed the night fasting:neitherH3809were instruments of musicbroughtH858before him: and his sleep fled from him.

19Then thekingH4430arose very early in the morning, andwentH236in haste unto the den of lions.

20And when he came near unto thedenH1358to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice: thekingH4430spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God,whomH1768thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from thelionsH744?

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, OkingH4430, have I done no hurt.
