Context
22Therefore the king slew them, and delivered Bel into Daniel’s power, who destroyed him and his temple.
23And in that same place there was a great dragon, which they of Babylon worshipped.
24And 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.
25Then said Daniel unto the king, I will worship the Lord my God: for he is the living God.
26But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this dragon without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave.
27Then 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.
28When 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.
