Bel and the Dragon 1:15 Context
13And they little regarded it: for vnder the table they had made a priuie entrance, whereby they entred in continually, and consumed those things. 14So when they were gone forth, the king set meates before Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his seruants 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 doore, & sealed it with the kings signet, and so departed. 15Now in the night came the Priests with their wiues and children (as they were woont to doe) and did eate and drinke vp all. 16In the morning betime the king arose, and Daniel with him. 17And the king said, Daniel, are the seales whole? And he said, Yea, O king, they be whole.
