Bel and the Dragon 20-22

Revised Standard Version

²⁰ The king said, “I see the footsteps of men and women and children.”

²¹ Then the king was enraged, and he seized the priests and their wives and children; and they showed him the secret doors through which they were accustomed to enter and devour what was on the table. ²² Therefore the king put them to death, and gave Bel over to Daniel, who destroyed it and its temple.
