He set his mind on rescuing Daniel and worked until sunset to find a way to save him. 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.
