DAN 6:1. It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

DAN 6:3. Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

DAN 6:4. Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

DAN 6:5. Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.

DAN 6:6. Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.

DAN 6:8. Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

DAN 6:9. Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

DAN 6:10. Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

DAN 6:11. Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

DAN 6:12. Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

DAN 6:13. Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
