Daniel 6:13-14

13Then they responded 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 offering his prayer three times a day.”

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