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.
29So they came to the king, and said, Deliver us Daniel, or else we will destroy thee and thine house.
30Now when the king saw that they pressed him sore, being constrained, he delivered Daniel unto them:
31Who cast him into the lions’ den: where he was six days.
