H6925
It pleased
H1868
Darius
H6966
to set
H5922
over
H4437
the kingdom
H3969
a hundred
H6243
and twenty
H324
satraps,
H1934
who should be
H3606
throughout the whole
H4437
kingdom;
2
H5924
and over
H4481
them
H8532
three
H5632
presidents,
H4481
of whom
H1841
Daniel
H2298
was one;
H459
that
H324
these satraps
H1934
might
H3052
give
H2941
account
H4430
unto them, and that the king
H1934
should have
H3809
no
H5142
damage.
3
H116
Then
H1836
this
H1841
Daniel
H1934
was
H5330
distinguished
H5922
above
H5632
the presidents
H324
and the satraps,
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 the satraps
H1934
sought
H7912
to find
H5931
occasion
H1841
against Daniel
H6655
as touching
H4437
the kingdom;
H3606
but
H3202
they could
H7912
find
H3809
no
H5931
occasion
H3809
nor
H7844
fault,
H6903
forasmuch
H540
as he was faithful,
H3809
neither
H3606
was there any
H7960
error
H7844
or fault
H7912
found
H5922
in him.
5
H116
Then
H560
said
H479
these
H1400
men,
H3809
We shall not
H7912
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 satraps
H7284
assembled together
H4430
to the king,
H560
and said
H3652
thus
H5922
unto him,
H4430
King
H1868
Darius,
H2418
live
H5957
for ever.
7
H3606
All
H5632
the presidents
H4437
of the kingdom,
H5460
the deputies
H324
and the satraps,
H1907
the counsellors
H6347
and the governors,
H3272
have consulted together
H6966
to establish
H4430
a royal
H7010
statute,
H8631
and to make a strong
H633
interdict,
H1156
that whosoever shall ask
H1159
a petition
H4481
of
H3606
any
H426
god
H606
or man
H5705
for
H8533
thirty
H3118
days,
H3861
save
H4481
of thee,
H4430
O king,
H7412
he shall be cast
H1358
into the den
H744
of lions.
8
H3705
Now,
H4430
O king,
H6966
establish
H633
the interdict,
H7560
and sign
H3792
the writing,
H3809
that it be not
H8133
changed,
H1882
according to the law
H4076
of the Medes
H6540
and Persians,
H5709
which altereth
H3809
not.
10
H1841
And when Daniel
H3046
knew
H3792
that the writing
H7560
was signed,
H5954
he went
H1005
into his house
H3551
(now his windows
H6606
were open
H5952
in his chamber
H5049
toward
H3390
Jerusalem)
H1289
and he kneeled
H5922
upon
H1291
his knees
H8532
three
H2166
times
H3118
a day,
H6739
and prayed,
H3029
and gave thanks
H6925
before
H426
his God,
H6903
as
H1934
he did
H1836
aforetime.
11
H116
Then
H479
these
H1400
men
H7284
assembled
H7912
together, and found
H1841
Daniel
H1156
making petition
H2604
and supplication
H6925
before
H426
his God.
12
H116
Then
H7127
they came near,
H560
and spake
H6925
before
H4430
the king
H5922
concerning
H4430
the king's
H633
interdict:
H3809
Hast thou not
H7560
signed
H633
an interdict,
H3606
that every
H606
man
H1156
that shall make
H4481
petition unto
H3606
any
H426
god
H606
or man
H5705
within
H8533
thirty
H3118
days,
H3861
save
H4481
unto thee,
H4430
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,
H5709
which altereth
H3809
not.
13
H116
Then
H6032
answered
H560
they and said
H6925
before
H4430
the king,
H1841
That Daniel,
H4481
who is of
H1123
the children
H1547
of the captivity
H3061
of Judah,
H7761
regardeth
H3809
not
H5922
thee,
H4430
O king,
H633
nor the interdict
H7560
that thou hast signed,
H1156
but maketh
H1159
his petition
H8532
three
H2166
times
H3118
a day.
14
H116
Then
H4430
the king,
H8086
when he heard
H4406
these words,
H7690
was sore
H888
displeased,
H7761
and set
H1079
his heart
H5922
on
H1841
Daniel
H7804
to deliver
H1934
him; and he labored
H5705
till
H4606
the going down
H8122
of the sun
H5338
to rescue him.
15
H116
Then
H479
these
H1400
men
H7284
assembled
H5922
together unto
H4430
the king,
H560
and said
H4430
unto the king,
H3046
Know,
H4430
O king,
H1882
that it is a law
H4076
of the Medes
H6540
and Persians,
H3606
that no
H633
interdict
H7010
nor statute
H4430
which the king
H6966
establisheth
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.
H4430
Now the king
H6032
spake
H560
and said
H1841
unto Daniel,
H426
Thy God
H607
whom thou
H6399
servest
H8411
continually,
H7804
he will deliver thee.
17
H2298
And a
H69
stone
H858
was brought,
H7761
and laid
H5922
upon
H6433
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;
H3809
that nothing
H8133
might be changed
H6640
concerning
H1841
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
fled
H5922
from him.
19
H116
Then
H4430
the king
H6966
arose
H8238
very early
H5053
in the morning,
H236
and went
H927
in haste
H1358
unto the den
H744
of lions.
20
H7127
And when he came
H1358
near unto the den
H1841
to Daniel,
H2200
he cried
H6088
with a lamentable
H7032
voice;
H4430
the king
H6032
spake
H560
and said
H1841
to Daniel,
H1841
O Daniel,
H5649
servant
H2417
of the living
H426
God,
H426
is thy God,
H6399
whom thou servest
H8411
continually,
H3202
able
H7804
to deliver
H4481
thee from
H744
the lions?
21
H116
Then
H4449
said
H1841
Daniel
H5974
unto
H4430
the king,
H4430
O king,
H2418
live
H5957
for ever.
22
H426
My God
H7972
hath sent
H4398
his angel,
H5463
and hath shut
H744
the lions'
H6433
mouths,
H3809
and they have not
H2255
hurt
H3606
me; forasmuch as
H6925
before
H2136
him innocency
H7912
was found
H638
in me; and also
H6925
before
H4430
thee, O king,
H5648
have I done
H3809
no
H2248
hurt.
23
H116
Then
H4430
was the king
H7690
exceeding
H2868
glad,
H560
and commanded
H5267
that they should take
H1841
Daniel
H5267
up
H4481
out of
H1358
the den.
H1841
So Daniel
H5267
was taken up
H4481
out of
H1358
the den,
H3809
and no
H3606
manner
H4481
of
H2257
hurt
H7912
was found
H540
upon him, because he had trusted
H426
in his God.
24
H4430
And the king
H560
commanded,
H858
and they brought
H479
those
H1400
men
H399
that had accused
H1841
Daniel,
H7412
and they cast
H581
them
H1358
into the den
H744
of lions,
H581
them,
H1123
their children,
H5389
and their wives;
H744
and the lions
H5705
had the mastery
H1855
of them, and brake
H3606
all
H1635
their bones
H1855
in pieces,
H4291
before they came
H773
to the bottom
H1358
of the den.
25
H116
Then
H4430
king
H1868
Darius
H3790
wrote
H3606
unto all
H5972
the peoples,
H524
nations,
H3961
and languages,
H1753
that dwell
H3606
in all
H772
the earth:
H8001
Peace
H7680
be multiplied unto you.
26
H4481
I
H7761
make
H2942
a decree,
H4481
that in
H7985
all the dominion
H4437
of my kingdom
H1934
men tremble
H1763
and fear
H4481
before
H426
the God
H1841
of Daniel;
H2417
for he is the living
H426
God,
H7011
and stedfast
H5957
for ever,
H4437
And his kingdom
H3809
that which shall not
H2255
be destroyed;
H7985
and his dominion
H5705
shall be even unto
H5491
the end.
