Bel and the Dragon 1:13

Bel and the Dragon 1:13 Context

¹¹So Bels Priests said, Loe, wee goe out: but thou, O king, set on the meate, and make ready the wine, and shut the doore fast, and seale it with thine owne signet: ¹²And to morrow, when thou commest in, if thou findest not that Bel hath eaten vp all, wee will suffer death; or else Daniel, that speaketh falsely against vs. ¹³And they little regarded it: for vnder the table they had made a priuie entrance, whereby they entred in continually, and consumed those things. ¹⁴So when they were gone forth, the king set meates before Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his seruants to bring ashes, and those they strewed throughout all the temple, in the presence of the king alone: then went they out and shut the doore, & sealed it with the kings signet, and so departed. ¹⁵Now in the night came the Priests with their wiues and children (as they were woont to doe) and did eate and drinke vp all.
