In context
22 And there was a great dragon in that place, and the Babylonians worshipped him.
23 And the king said to Daniel: Behold, thou canst not say now, that this is not a living god: adore him, therefore.
24 And Daniel said: I adore the Lord, my God: for he is the living God: but that is no living god.
25 But give me leave, O king, and I will kill this dragon without sword or club. And the king said, I give thee leave.
26 Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and boiled them together: and he made lumps, and put them into the dragon's mouth, and the dragon burst asunder. And he said: Behold him whom you worship.
27 And when the Babylonians had heard this, they took great indignation: and being gathered together against the king, they said: The king is become a Jew. He hath destroyed Bel, he hath killed the dragon, and he hath put the priests to death.
28 And they came to the king, and said: Deliver us Daniel, or else we will destroy thee and thy house.
