    2 It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom.

    3 Over these, he placed three administrators, including Daniel, who was one of them. The satraps were to give an account to them, so the king would not suffer any loss.

    4 Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the administrators and satraps because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king planned to set him over the entire kingdom.

    5 At this, the administrators and satraps sought to find a charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no charge or fault because he was faithful. No negligence or corruption was found in him.

    6 Then these men said, 'We will not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless it is connected with the law of his God.'

    7 So the administrators and satraps went as a group to the king and said to him, 'King Darius, may you live forever!

    8 All the governors of the kingdom, the prefects, satraps, advisors, and officials have agreed to establish a royal decree and enforce an edict: Anyone who petitions any god or human besides you, O king, for thirty days shall be thrown into the lions' den.

    9 Now, O king, issue the decree and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered, in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.

    10 So King Darius signed the written decree and the edict.

    11 When Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went to his house. He had windows in his upstairs room that opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees to pray, giving thanks to his God, just as he had always done.

    12 Then these men came as a group and found Daniel petitioning and pleading before his God.

    13 So they approached the king and said, 'Did you not sign a decree that for thirty days, anyone who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the lions’ den?' The king answered, 'The decree stands, in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.'

    16 Then the men went as a group to the king and said, 'Remember, O king, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians, no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.'

    17 So the king gave the command, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, 'May your God, whom you continually serve, rescue you!'

    18 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and the rings of his nobles, so that nothing could be changed in regard to Daniel.

    19 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night fasting. No diversions were brought to him, and he could not sleep.

    20 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den.

    21 When he approached the den, he called out to Daniel with a distressed voice. The king said to Daniel, 'Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you continually serve, been able to rescue you from the lions?'
