H8232
It pleased
H1868
Darius
H6966
to set
H5922
over
H4437
the kingdom
H3969
an hundred
H6243
and twenty
H324
princes,
H3606
which should be over the whole
H4437
kingdom;
2
H5924
And over
H4481
these
H8532
three
H5632
presidents;
H1768
of whom
H2006
H1841
Daniel
H2298
was first:
H324
that the princes
H3052
might give
H2941
accounts
H4430
to them, and the king
H1934
should have
H3809
no
H5142
damage.
3
H116
Then
H1836
this
H1841
Daniel
H5330
was preferred
H5922
above
H5632
the presidents
H324
and princes,
H3606
because
H3493
an excellent
H7308
spirit
H4430
was in him; and the king
H6246
thought
H6966
to set
H5922
him over
H3606
the whole
H4437
realm.
4
H116
Then
H5632
the presidents
H324
and princes
H1158
sought
H7912
to find
H5931
occasion
H1841
against Daniel
H6655
concerning
H4437
the kingdom;
H3202
but they could
H7912
find
H3809
none
H5931
occasion
H3809
nor
H7844
fault;
H3606
for as much
H540
as he was faithful,
H3809
neither
H3606
was there any
H7960
error
H7844
or fault
H7912
found in him.
5
H116
Then
H560
said
H479
these
H1400
men,
H7912
We shall not find
H3606
any
H5931
occasion
H5922
against
H1836
this
H1841
Daniel,
H3861
except
H7912
we find
H1882
it against him concerning the law
H426
of his God.
6
H116
Then
H459
these
H5632
presidents
H324
and princes
H7284
assembled
H4430
together to the king,
H560
and said
H3652
thus
H4430
to him, King
H1868
Darius,
H2418
live
H5957
for ever.
7
H3606
All
H5632
the presidents
H4437
of the kingdom,
H5461
the governors,
H324
and the princes,
H1907
the counsellors,
H6347
and the captains,
H3272
have consulted
H6966
together to establish
H4430
a royal
H7010
statute,
H8631
and to make a firm
H633
decree,
H3605
that whoever
H1156
shall ask
H1159
a petition
H3606
of any
H426
God
H606
or man
H8533
for thirty
H3118
days,
H3861
save
H4430
of you, O king,
H7412
he shall be cast
H1358
into the den
H744
of lions.
8
H3705
Now,
H4430
O king,
H6966
establish
H633
the decree,
H7560
and sign
H3792
the writing,
H8133
that it be not changed,
H1882
according to the law
H4076
of the Medes
H6540
and Persians,
H1768
which
H5709
alters not.
10
H1768
Now
H1768
when
H1841
Daniel
H3046
knew
H3792
that the writing
H7560
was signed,
H5954
he went
H1005
into his house;
H3551
and his windows
H6606
being open
H5952
in his chamber
H5049
toward
H3390
Jerusalem,
H1289
he kneeled
H1291
on his knees
H8532
three
H2166
times
H3118
a day,
H6739
and prayed,
H3029
and gave thanks
H6925
before
H426
his God,
H5648
as he did
H4481
aforetime.
11
H116
Then
H479
these
H1400
men
H7284
assembled,
H7912
and found
H1841
Daniel
H1156
praying
H2604
and making supplication
H6925
before
H426
his God.
12
H116
Then
H7127
they came
H7127
near,
H560
and spoke
H6925
before
H4430
the king
H5922
concerning
H4430
the king’s
H633
decree;
H7560
Have you not signed
H633
a decree,
H3606
that every
H606
man
H1156
that shall ask
H3606
a petition of any
H426
God
H606
or man
H5705
within
H8533
thirty
H3118
days,
H3861
save
H4430
of you, O king,
H7412
shall be cast
H1358
into the den
H744
of lions?
H4430
The king
H6032
answered
H560
and said,
H4406
The thing
H3330
is true,
H1882
according to the law
H4076
of the Medes
H6540
and Persians,
H1768
which
H5709
alters not.
13
H116
Then
H6032
answered
H560
they and said
H6925
before
H4430
the king,
H1841
That Daniel,
H1768
which
H1123
is of the children
H1547
of the captivity
H3061
of Judah,
H7761
regards
H2942
H4430
not you, O king,
H633
nor the decree
H7560
that you have signed,
H1159
but makes his petition
H8532
three
H2166
times
H3118
a day.
14
H116
Then
H4430
the king,
H1768
when
H8086
he heard
H4406
these words,
H7690
was sore
H888
displeased
H7761
with himself, and set
H1079
his heart
H5922
on
H1841
Daniel
H7804
to deliver
H7712
him: and he labored
H5704
till
H4606
the going
H4606
down
H8122
of the sun
H5338
to deliver him.
15
H116
Then
H479
these
H1400
men
H7284
assembled
H4430
to the king,
H560
and said
H4430
to the king,
H3046
Know,
H4430
O king,
H1882
that the law
H4076
of the Medes
H6540
and Persians
H3606
is, That no
H3809
H633
decree
H7010
nor statute
H1768
which
H4430
the king
H6966
establishes
H8133
may be changed.
16
H116
Then
H4430
the king
H560
commanded,
H858
and they brought
H1841
Daniel,
H7412
and cast
H1358
him into the den
H744
of lions.
H116
Now
H4430
the king
H6032
spoke
H560
and said
H1841
to Daniel,
H426
Your God
H1768
whom
H6399
you serve
H8411
continually,
H7804
he will deliver you.
17
H69
And a stone
H858
was brought,
H7760
and laid
H6433
on the mouth
H1358
of the den;
H4430
and the king
H2857
sealed
H5824
it with his own signet,
H5824
and with the signet
H7261
of his lords;
H6640
that the purpose
H8133
might not be changed
H1841
concerning Daniel.
18
H116
Then
H4430
the king
H236
went
H1965
to his palace,
H956
and passed the night
H2908
fasting:
H3809
neither
H1761
were instruments
H5954
of music brought
H6925
before
H8139
him: and his sleep
H5075
went from him.
19
H116
Then
H4430
the king
H6966
arose
H8238
very early
H5053
in the morning,
H236
and went
H927
in haste
H1358
to the den
H744
of lions.
20
H7127
And when he came
H1358
to the den,
H2200
he cried
H6088
with a lamentable
H7032
voice
H1841
to Daniel:
H4430
and the king
H6032
spoke
H560
and said
H1841
to Daniel,
H1841
O Daniel,
H5649
servant
H2417
of the living
H426
God,
H426
is your God,
H1768
whom
H6399
you serve
H8411
continually,
H3202
able
H7804
to deliver
H744
you from the lions?
22
H426
My God
H7972
has sent
H4398
his angel,
H5463
and has shut
H744
the lions’
H6433
mouths,
H2255
that they have not hurt
H3606
me: for as much
H6925
as before
H2136
him innocence
H7912
was found
H638
in me; and also
H6925
before
H4430
you, O king,
H5648
have I done
H3809
no
H2248
hurt.
23
H116
Then
H4430
was the king
H7689
exceedingly
H2868
glad
H560
for him, and commanded
H5267
that they should take
H1841
Daniel
H1358
up out of the den.
H1841
So Daniel
H5267
was taken
H1358
up out of the den,
H3606
and no
H3809
H2257
manner of hurt
H7912
was found
H1768
on him, because
H540
he believed
H426
in his God.
24
H4430
And the king
H560
commanded,
H858
and they brought
H479
those
H1400
men
H1768
which
H399
had accused
H7170
H1841
Daniel,
H7412
and they cast
H1358
them into the den
H744
of lions,
H1123
them, their children,
H5389
and their wives;
H744
and the lions
H7981
had the mastery
H1855
of them, and broke
H3606
all
H1635
their bones
H3809
in pieces or ever
H4291
they came
H773
at the bottom
H1358
of the den.
25
H116
Then
H4430
king
H1868
Darius
H3790
wrote
H3606
to all
H5972
people,
H524
nations,
H3961
and languages,
H1753
that dwell
H3606
in all
H772
the earth;
H8001
Peace
H7680
be multiplied to you.
26
H7761
I make
H2942
a decree,
H3606
That in every
H7985
dominion
H4437
of my kingdom
H2112
men tremble
H1763
and fear
H4481
before
H6925
H426
the God
H1841
of Daniel:
H2417
for he is the living
H426
God,
H7011
and steadfast
H5957
for ever,
H4437
and his kingdom
H1768
that which
H2255
shall not be destroyed,
H7985
and his dominion
H5491
shall be even to the end.
