Bel and the Dragon 1:16
King James VersionSource notes
“In the morning betime the king arose, and Daniel with him.”
Context
13And they little regarded it: for under the table they had made a privy entrance, whereby they entered in continually, and consumed those things.
14So when they were gone forth, the king set meats before Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his servants 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 door, and sealed it with the king’s signet, and so departed.
15Now in the night came the priests with their wives and children, as they were wont to do, and did eat and drink up all.
16In the morning betime the king arose, and Daniel with him.
17And the king said, Daniel, are the seals whole? And he said, Yea, O king, they be whole.
18And as soon as he had opened the dour, the king looked upon the table, and cried with a loud voice, Great art thou, O Bel, and with thee is no deceit at all.
19Then laughed Daniel, and held the king that he should not go in, and said, Behold now the pavement, and mark well whose footsteps are these.
