Daniel 6:16:1-11 - Daniel in the Den of Lions
1
It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom, 2with three
administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The satraps were made
accountable to them so that the king might not suffer loss. 3Now Daniel so
distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional
qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. 4At this, the
administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his
conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no
corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent.
5
Finally these men said, "We will never find any basis for charges against this man
Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God."
6
So the administrators and the satraps went as a group to the king and said: "O King
Darius, live forever! 7The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and
governors have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree
that anyone who prays to any god or man during the next thirty days, except to
you, O king, shall be thrown into the lions' den. 8Now, O king, issue the decree
and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered—in accordance with the laws of the
Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed." 9So King Darius put the decree in
writing.
10
Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to
his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day
he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done
before. 11Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking
God for help.
