Daniel 6:16-18
Living Bible
16 So at last the king gave the order for Daniel’s arrest, and he was taken to the den of lions. The king said to him, “May your God, whom you worship continually, deliver you.” And then they threw him in. 17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with that of his government, so that no one could rescue Daniel from the lions.
18 Then the king returned to his palace and went to bed without dinner. He refused his usual entertainment and didn’t sleep all night.
