menu_book Verse in Context

26 But allow me, O king, and I will kill this dragon without sword or staff.” The king said, “I allow you.”

27 Then Daniel took pitch, fat, and hair, and melted them together, and made lumps of them. He put these in the dragon’s mouth, so the dragon ate and burst apart. Daniel said, “Behold, these are the gods you all worship.”

28 When the people of Babylon heard that, they took great indignation, and conspired against the king, saying, “The king has become a Jew. He has pulled down Bel, slain the dragon, and put the priests to the sword.”

29 So they came to the king, and said, “Deliver Daniel to us, or else we will destroy you and your house.”

30 Now when the king saw that they trapped him, being constrained, the king delivered Daniel to them.
