16 So the king gave the command, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. But the king spoke, saying to Daniel, “Your God, whom you serve continually, He will deliver you.”
17 aThen a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den, band the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signets of his lords, that the purpose concerning Daniel might not be changed.
Daniel Saved from the Lions
18 Now the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting; and no1 musicians were brought before him. aAlso his sleep went from him.
19 Then the aking arose very early in the morning and went in haste to the den of lions.
20 And when he came to the den, he cried out with a1 lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, ahas your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?”
