Bel and the Dragon 19-21

Revised Standard Version

¹⁹ Then Daniel laughed, and restrained the king from going in, and said, “Look at the floor, and notice whose footsteps these are.” ²⁰ The king said, “I see the footsteps of men and women and children.”

²¹ Then the king was enraged, and he seized the priests and their wives and children; and they showed him the secret doors through which they were accustomed to enter and devour what was on the table.
