So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him because he had trusted in his God.(B) 24 The king gave a command, and those who had maliciously accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the den of lions—they, their children, and their wives. Before they reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces.(C)
