At the command of the king, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the den of lions--they and their children and wives. And before they had reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones. Context 24The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had maliciously accused Daniel, and they cast them, their children and their wives into the lions’ den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones. 25Then Darius the king wrote to all the peoples, nations and men of every language who were living in all the land: “May your peace abound! 26“I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel; 27“He delivers and rescues and performs signs and wonders 28So this Daniel enjoyed success in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
