14 Then, the king, when he heard, the matter, was sorely displeased with himself, and, upon Daniel, set his heart, to deliver him,––and, until the going in of the sun, was striving to rescue him.
15 Then, these men, crowded unto the king,––and were saying to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that, no interdict nor statute which the king establisheth, may be changed.
16 Then, the king, gave word, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. The king spake and said to Daniel,––Thy God, whom thou art serving continually, he, will deliver thee.
17 And there was brought a certain stone, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet–ring, and with the signet–ring of his nobles, that nothing might be changed, as to Daniel.
