kjv@Daniel: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.
kjv@Daniel: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.
kjv@Daniel: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].
kjv@Daniel:6:6@ Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the [KING], and said thus unto him, [KING][DARIUS], live for ever.
kjv@Daniel:6:7@ All the presidents of the [KINGDOM], the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a [PETITION] of any [GOD] or [MAN] for thirty days, save of thee, O [KING], he shall be cast into the den of lions.
kjv@Daniel: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.
kjv@Daniel: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.
kjv@Daniel:6:14@ Then the [KING], when he heard these [WORDS], was sore displeased with himself, and set his [HEART] on [DANIEL] to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the [SUN] to deliver him.
kjv@Daniel:6:15@ Then these men assembled unto the [KING], and said unto the [KING], Know, O [KING], that the [LAW] of the [MEDES] and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the [KING] establisheth may be changed.
kjv@Daniel:6:16@ Then the [KING] commanded, and they brought [DANIEL], and cast him into the den of lions. Now the [KING] spake and said unto [DANIEL], Thy [GOD] whom thou servest continually, he [WILL] deliver thee.
kjv@Daniel:6:17@ And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the [KING] sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning [DANIEL].
kjv@Daniel:6:22@ My [GOD] hath sent his [ANGEL], and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him [INNOCENCY] was found in me; and also before thee, O [KING], have I done no hurt.
kjv@Daniel:6:23@ Then was the [KING] exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take [DANIEL] up out of the den. So [DANIEL] was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his [GOD].
kjv@Daniel:6:24@ And the [KING] commanded, and they brought those men which had accused [DANIEL], and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their [CHILDREN], and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their [BONES] in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
