“And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.”
The king commanded, and those men who had accused Daniel were brought and cast into the den of lions—along with their children and wives; and before they reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces—showing that accusers and their families experience the same fate they intended for Daniel, demonstrating divine justice against those who persecute the righteous. The swift destruction illustrates both the fury of the lions and the certainty of judgment. The inclusion of families suggests comprehensive judgment upon the entire conspiracy.
