en the king was angry,

Bel 1:21
And took the priests with their wives and children, who
shewed him the privy doors, where they came in, and consumed
such things as were upon the table.

Bel 1:22
Therefore the king slew them, and delivered Bel into
Daniel's power, who destroyed him and his temple.

Bel 1:23
And in that same place there was a great dragon, which they
of Babylon worshipped.

Bel 1:24
And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this
is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst
not say that he is no living god: therefore worship him.

Bel 1:25
Then said Daniel unto the king, I will worship the Lord my
God: for he is the living God.

Bel 1:26
But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this dragon
without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave.

Bel 1:27
Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did seethe
them together, and made lumps thereof: this he put in the
dragon's mouth, and so the dragon burst in sunder: and Daniel
said, Lo, these are the gods ye worship.

Bel 1:28
When they of Babylon heard that, they took great
indignation, and conspired against the king, saying, The king is
become a Jew, and he hath destroyed Bel, he hath slain the
dragon, and put the priests to death.

Bel 1:29
So they came to the king, and said, Deliver us Daniel, or
else we will destroy thee and thine house.

Bel 1:30
Now when the king saw that they pressed him sore, being
constrained, he delivered Daniel unto them:

Bel 1:31
Who cast him into the lions' den: where he was six days.

Bel 1:32
And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given
them every day two carcases, and two sheep: which then were not
given to them, to the intent they might devour Daniel.

Bel 1:33
Now there was in Jewry a prophet, called Habbacuc, who had
made pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl, and was going into
the field, for to bring it to the reapers.

Bel 1:34
But the angel of the Lord said unto Habbacuc, Go, carry the
dinner that thou hast into Babylon unto Daniel, who is in the
lions' den.

Bel 1:35
And Habbacuc said, Lord, I never saw Babylon; neither do I
know where the den is.

Bel 1:36
Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and bare
him by the hair of his head, and through the vehemency of his
spirit set him in Babylon over the den.

Bel 1:37
And Habbacuc cried, saying, O Daniel, Daniel, take the
dinner which God hath sent thee.

Bel 1:3
