12ThenH116 they approachedH7127 and 1spokeH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430 aboutH5922 the king’sH4430 injunctionH633: “Did you not signH7560 an injunctionH633 that anyH3606 personH606 whoH1768 offersH1156 aH1156 prayerH1156 to anyH3606 godH426 or personH606 besidesH3861H4481 you, O kingH4430, for thirtyH8533 daysH3118, is to be thrownH7412 into the lions’H744 denH1358?” The kingH4430 repliedH6032, “The statementH4406 is trueH3330, according to the 2lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540, whichH1768 3may not be revokedH5709.” 13ThenH116 they respondedH6032 and spokeH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, “4DanielH1841, whoH1768 is one of the 5exilesH1123H1547 from JudahH3061, paysH7761 6noH3809 attentionH2942 to you, O kingH4430, or to the injunctionH633 whichH1768 you signedH7560, but keeps offeringH1156 his prayerH1159 threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118.”
14ThenH116, as soonH1768 as the kingH4430 heardH8086 this statementH4406, he was deeplyH7690 7distressedH888, and setH7761 his mindH1079 on rescuingH7804 DanielH1841; and untilH5705 sunsetH4606H8122 he kept exertingH7712 himself to saveH5338 him. 15ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 cameH7284 8byH7284 agreementH7284 to the kingH4430 and saidH560 to the kingH4430, “RecognizeH3046, O kingH4430, that it is a 9lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540 that noH3606H3809 injunctionH633 or statuteH7010 whichH1768 the kingH4430 establishesH6966 may be changedH8133.”
