² H5924And overH4481theseH8532threeH5632presidentsH4481; of whomH1841DanielH2298was firstH459: thatH324the princesH1934might[H8748] H3052give[H8751] H2941accountsH4430unto them, and the kingH1934should have[H8748] H3809noH5142damage[H8752] .

³ H116ThenH1836thisH1841DanielH1934was[H8754] H5330preferred[H8723] H5922aboveH5632the presidentsH324and princesH3606, becauseH6903 H3493an excellentH7308spiritH4430was in him; and the kingH6246thought[H8754] H6966to set[H8682] H5922him overH3606the wholeH4437realm.

⁴ H116ThenH5632the presidentsH324and princesH1934sought[H8754] H1156 [H8750] H7912to find[H8682] H5931occasionH1841against DanielH6655concerningH4437the kingdomH3606; butH3202they could[H8750] H7912find[H8682] H3809noneH5931occasionH3809norH7844fault[H8752] H6903; forasmuchH540as he was faithful[H8683] H3809, neitherH3606was there anyH7960errorH7844or fault[H8752] H7912found[H8728] H5922in him.

⁵ H116ThenH560said[H8750] H479theseH1400menH3809, We shall notH7912find[H8684] H3606anyH5931occasionH5922againstH1836thisH1841DanielH3861, exceptH7912we find[H8681] H1882it against him concerning the lawH426of his God.

⁶ H116ThenH459theseH5632presidentsH324and princesH7284assembled together[H8684] H4430to the kingH560, and said[H8750] H3652thusH5922unto himH4430, KingH1868DariusH2418, live[H8747] H5957for ever.

⁷ H3606AllH5632the presidentsH4437of the kingdomH5460, the governorsH324, and the princesH1907, the counsellorsH6347, and the captainsH3272, have consulted together[H8724] H6966to establish[H8742] H4430a royalH7010statuteH8631, and to make a firm[H8742] H633decreeH1156, that whosoever shall ask[H8748] H1159a petitionH4481ofH3606anyH426GodH606or manH5705forH8533thirtyH3118daysH3861, saveH4481of theeH4430, O kingH7412, he shall be cast[H8729] H1358into the denH744of lions.

⁸ H3705NowH4430, O kingH6966, establish[H8681] H633the decreeH7560, and sign[H8748] H3792the writingH3809, that it be notH8133changed[H8682] H1882, according to the lawH4076of the MedesH6540and PersiansH5709, which altereth[H8748] H3809not.

⁹ H3606WhereforeH1836 H6903 H4430kingH1868DariusH7560signed[H8754] H3792the writingH633and the decree.

¹⁰ H1841Now when DanielH3046knew[H8754] H3792that the writingH7560was signed[H8752] H5954, he went[H8754] H1005into his houseH3551; and his windowsH6606being open[H8759] H5952in his chamberH5049towardH3390JerusalemH1289, he kneeled[H8750] H5922uponH1291his kneesH8532threeH2166timesH3118a dayH6739, and prayed[H8743] H3029, and gave thanks[H8683] H6925beforeH426his GodH6903, asH3606 H1934he did[H8754] H5648 [H8751] H4481aforetimeH1836 H6928 .

¹¹ H116ThenH479theseH1400menH7284assembled[H8684] H7912, and found[H8684] H1841DanielH1156praying[H8750] H2604and making supplication[H8723] H6925beforeH426his God.

¹² H116ThenH7127they came near[H8754] H560, and spake[H8750] H6925beforeH4430the kingH5922concerningH4430the king'sH633decreeH3809; Hast thou notH7560signed[H8754] H633a decreeH3606, that everyH606manH1156that shall ask[H8748] H4481a petition ofH3606anyH426GodH606or manH5705withinH8533thirtyH3118daysH3861, saveH4481of theeH4430, O kingH7412, shall be cast[H8729] H1358into the denH744of lionsH4430? The kingH6032answered[H8750] H560and said[H8750] H4406, The thingH3330is trueH1882, according to the lawH4076of the MedesH6540and PersiansH5709, which altereth[H8748] H3809not.

¹³ H116ThenH6032answered[H8754] H560they and said[H8750] H6925beforeH4430the kingH1841, That DanielH4481, which is ofH1123the childrenH1547of the captivityH3061of JudahH7761, regardeth[H8754] H2942 H3809notH5922theeH4430, O kingH633, nor the decreeH7560that thou hast signed[H8754] H1156, but maketh[H8750] H1159his petitionH8532threeH2166timesH3118a day.

¹⁴ H116ThenH4430the kingH8086, when he heard[H8754] H4406these wordsH7690, was soreH888displeased[H8754] H7761with himself, and set[H8754] H1079his heartH5922onH1841DanielH7804to deliver[H8756] H1934him: and he laboured[H8754] H7712 [H8723] H5705tillH4606the going downH8122of the sunH5338to deliver[H8682]  him.

¹⁵ H116ThenH479theseH1400menH7284assembled[H8684] H5922untoH4430the kingH560, and said[H8750] H4430unto the kingH3046, Know[H8747] H4430, O kingH1882, that the lawH4076of the MedesH6540and PersiansH3606is, That noH633decreeH7010nor statuteH4430which the kingH6966establisheth[H8681] H8133may be changed[H8682] .

¹⁶ H116ThenH4430the kingH560commanded[H8754] H858, and they brought[H8684] H1841DanielH7412, and cast[H8754] H1358him into the denH744of lionsH4430. Now the kingH6032spake[H8750] H560and said[H8750] H1841unto DanielH426, Thy GodH607whom thouH6399servest[H8750] H8411continuallyH7804, he will deliver[H8755]  thee.

¹⁷ H2298And aH69stoneH858was brought[H8717] H7761, and laid[H8752] H5922uponH6433the mouthH1358of the denH4430; and the kingH2857sealed[H8754] H5824it with his own signetH5824, and with the signetH7261of his lordsH6640; that the purposeH3809might notH8133be changed[H8748] H1841concerning Daniel.

¹⁸ H116ThenH4430the kingH236went[H8754] H1965to his palaceH956, and passed the night[H8754] H2908fastingH3809: neitherH1761were instrumentsH5954of musick brought[H8684] H6925beforeH8139him: and his sleepH5075went[H8754] H5922from him.

¹⁹ H116ThenH4430the kingH6966arose[H8748] H8238very earlyH5053in the morningH236, and went[H8754] H927in haste[H8726] H1358unto the denH744of lions.

²⁰ H7127And when he came[H8749] H1358to the denH2200, he cried[H8754] H6088with a lamentable[H8750] H7032voiceH1841unto DanielH4430: and the kingH6032spake[H8750] H560and said[H8750] H1841to DanielH1841, O DanielH5649, servantH2417of the livingH426GodH426, is thy GodH6399, whom thou servest[H8750] H8411continuallyH3202, able[H8754] H7804to deliver[H8756] H4481thee fromH744the lions?

²¹ H116ThenH4449said[H8745] H1841DanielH5974untoH4430the kingH4430, O kingH2418, live[H8747] H5957for ever.

²² H426My GodH7972hath sent[H8754] H4398his angelH5463, and hath shut[H8754] H744the lionsH6433' mouthsH3809, that they have notH2255hurt[H8745] H3606me: forasmuch asH6903 H6925beforeH2136him innocencyH7912was found[H8728] H638in me; and alsoH6925beforeH4430thee, O kingH5648, have I done[H8754] H3809noH2248hurt.

²³ H116ThenH4430was the kingH7690exceedingH2868glad[H8754] H5922for himH560, and commanded[H8754] H5267that they should takeH1841DanielH5267up[H8682] H4481out ofH1358the denH1841. So DanielH5267was taken up[H8717] H4481out ofH1358the denH3809, and noH3606mannerH2257of hurtH7912was found[H8728] H540upon him, because he believed[H8684] H426in his God.

²⁴ H4430And the kingH560commanded[H8754] H858, and they brought[H8684] H479thoseH1400menH399which had accused[H8754] H7170 H1841DanielH7412, and they cast[H8754] H1358them into the denH744of lionsH581, themH1123, their childrenH5389, and their wivesH744; and the lionsH5705had the masteryH7981 [H8754] H1855of them, and brakeH3606allH1635their bonesH1855in pieces[H8684] H3809or everH4291they came[H8754] H773at the bottomH1358of the den.

²⁵ H116ThenH4430kingH1868DariusH3790wrote[H8754] H3606unto allH5972peopleH524, nationsH3961, and languagesH1753, that dwell[H8748] H3606in allH772the earthH8001; PeaceH7680be multiplied[H8748]  unto you.

²⁶ H4481IH6925 H7761make[H8752] H2942a decreeH3606, That in everyH7985dominionH4437of my kingdomH1934men tremble[H8748] H2112 H1763and fear[H8751] H4481beforeH6925 H426the GodH1841of DanielH2417: for he is the livingH426GodH7011, and stedfastH5957for everH4437, and his kingdomH3809that which shall notH2255be destroyed[H8721] H7985, and his dominionH5705shall be even untoH5491the end.

²⁷ H7804He delivereth[H8757] H5338and rescueth[H8683] H5648, and he worketh[H8751] H852signsH8540and wondersH8065in heavenH772and in earthH7804, who hath delivered[H8758] H1841DanielH4481fromH3028the powerH744of the lions.

²⁸ H1836So thisH1841DanielH6744prospered[H8684] H4437in the reignH1868of DariusH4437, and in the reignH3567of CyrusH6543the Persian.
