Daniel 6:6-10

6So these officials and satraps went to the king as a group. They said to him, “May King Darius live forever!

7All the officials, governors, satraps, advisers, and mayors agree that the king should make a statute and enforce a decree. The decree should state that for the next 30 days whoever asks for anything from any god or person except you, Your Majesty, will be thrown into a lions’ den.

8Your Majesty, issue this decree, and sign it. According to the law of the Medes and Persians no one could change it or repeal it.”

9So Darius signed the written decree.

10When Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went to his house. An upper room in his house had windows that opened in the direction of Jerusalem. Three times each day he got down on his knees and prayed to his God. He had always praised God this way.
