Daniel 6:20
18 Then the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting. No entertainment was brought before him, and sleep fled from him.
19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the den of lions.
When he reached the den, he cried out in a voice of anguish, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?”
21 Then Daniel replied, “O king, may you live forever!
22 My God sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, for I was found innocent in His sight, and I have done no wrong against you, O king.”
