Daniel 6:13-14

13Then they answered and spoke before the king, “1Daniel, who is one of the 2exiles from Judah, pays 3no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps making his petition three times a day.”

14Then, as soon as the king heard this statement, he was deeply 4distressed and set his mind on delivering Daniel; and even until sunset he kept exerting himself to rescue him.
