The king took part in this cult and worshiped the idol every day. Daniel, on the other hand, worshiped only his own God. (Daniel 14, 4)
And the king asked him, "Why don't you worship Bel?" Daniel answered, "I worship no man-made idols, but only the living God who made heaven and earth and rules over all mankind." (Daniel 14, 5)
Daniel laughed. "Do not be deceived, O king. This is only clay inside and bronze outside. It never ate or drank anything." (Daniel 14, 7)
