H6925 H8232 [H8754]
It pleased
H1868
Darius
H6966 [H8684]
to set
H5922
over
H4437
the kingdom
H3969
an hundred
H6243
and twenty
H324
princes,
H1934 [H8748]
who should be
H3606
over the whole
H4437
kingdom;
2
H5924
And over
H4481
these
H8532
three
H5632
presidents;
H4481
of whom
H1841
Daniel
H2298
was first:
H459
that
H324
the princes
H1934 [H8748]
might
H3052 [H8751]
give
H2941
accounts
H4430
to them, and the king
H1934 [H8748]
should suffer
H3809
no
H5142 [H8752]
loss.
3
H116
Then
H1836
this
H1841
Daniel
H1934 [H8754]
was
H5330 [H8723]
preferred
H5922
above
H5632
the presidents
H324
and princes,
H3606 H6903
because
H3493
an excellent
H7308
spirit
H4430
was in him; and the king
H6246 [H8754]
thought
H6966 [H8682]
to set
H5922
him over
H3606
the whole
H4437
realm.
4
H116
Then
H5632
the presidents
H324
and princes
H1934 H1156 [H8754]
sought
H7912 [H8682]
to find
H5931
occasion
H1841
against Daniel
H6655
concerning
H4437
the kingdom;
H3606
but
H3202 [H8750]
they could
H7912 [H8682]
find
H3809
no
H5931
occasion
H3809
nor
H7844 [H8752]
fault;
H6903
forasmuch
H540 [H8683]
as he was faithful,
H3809
neither
H3606
was there any
H7960
error
H7844 [H8752]
or fault
H7912 [H8728]
found
H5922
in him.
5
H116
Then
H560 [H8750]
said
H479
these
H1400
men,
H3809
We shall not
H7912 [H8684]
find
H3606
any
H5931
occasion
H5922
against
H1836
this
H1841
Daniel,
H3861
except
H7912 [H8681]
we find
H1882
it against him concerning the law
H426
of his God.
6
H116
Then
H459
these
H5632
presidents
H324
and princes
H7284 [H8684]
assembled
H4430
to the king,
H560 [H8750]
and said
H3652
thus
H5922
to him,
H4430
King
H1868
Darius,
H2418 [H8747]
live
H5957
for ever.
7
H3606
All
H5632
the presidents
H4437
of the kingdom,
H5460
the governors,
H324
and the princes,
H1907
the counsellors,
H6347
and the captains,
H3272 [H8724]
have consulted together
H6966 [H8742]
to establish
H4430
a royal
H7010
statute,
H8631 [H8742]
and to make a firm
H633
decree,
H1156 [H8748]
that whoever shall ask
H1159
a petition
H4481
of
H3606
any
H426
god
H606
or man
H5705
for
H8533
thirty
H3118
days,
H3861
except
H4481
of thee,
H4430
O king,
H7412 [H8729]
he shall be cast
H1358
into the den
H744
of lions.
8
H3705
Now,
H4430
O king,
H6966 [H8681]
establish
H633
the decree,
H7560 [H8748]
and sign
H3792
the writing,
H3809
that it may not be
H8133 [H8682]
changed,
H1882
according to the law
H4076
of the Medes
H6540
and Persians,
H5709 [H8748]
which altereth
H3809
not.
9
H3606 H1836 H6903
Therefore
H4430
king
H1868
Darius
H7560 [H8754]
signed
H3792
the writing
H633
and the decree.
10
H1841
Now when Daniel
H3046 [H8754]
knew
H3792
that the writing
H7560 [H8752]
was signed,
H5954 [H8754]
he went
H1005
into his house;
H3551
and his windows
H6606 [H8759]
being open
H5952
in his chamber
H5049
toward
H3390
Jerusalem,
H1289 [H8750]
he kneeled
H5922
upon
H1291
his knees
H8532
three
H2166
times
H3118
a day,
H6739 [H8743]
and prayed,
H3029 [H8683]
and gave thanks
H6925
before
H426
his God,
H6903 H3606
as
H1934 H5648 [H8754]
he did
H4481 H1836 H6928
before.
11
H116
Then
H479
these
H1400
men
H7284 [H8684]
assembled,
H7912 [H8684]
and found
H1841
Daniel
H1156 [H8750]
praying
H2604 [H8723]
and making supplication
H6925
before
H426
his God.
12
H116
Then
H7127 [H8754]
they came near,
H560 [H8750]
and spoke
H6925
before
H4430
the king
H5922
concerning
H4430
the king's
H633
decree;
H3809
Hast thou not
H7560 [H8754]
signed
H633
a decree,
H3606
that every
H606
man
H1156 [H8748]
that shall ask
H4481
a petition of
H3606
any
H426
god
H606
or man
H5705
within
H8533
thirty
H3118
days,
H3861
except
H4481
of thee,
H4430
O king,
H7412 [H8729]
shall be cast
H1358
into the den
H744
of lions?
H4430
The king
H6032 [H8750]
answered
H560 [H8750]
and said,
H4406
The thing
H3330
is true,
H1882
according to the law
H4076
of the Medes
H6540
and Persians,
H5709 [H8748]
which altereth
H3809
not.
13
H116
Then
H6032 [H8754]
they answered
H560 [H8750]
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 H2942 [H8754]
regardeth
H3809
not
H5922
thee,
H4430
O king,
H633
nor the decree
H7560 [H8754]
that thou hast signed,
H1156 [H8750]
but maketh
H1159
his petition
H8532
three
H2166
times
H3118
a day.
14
H116
Then
H4430
the king,
H8086 [H8754]
when he heard
H4406
these words,
H7690
was much
H888 [H8754]
displeased
H7761 [H8754]
with himself, and set
H1079
his anxiety
H5922
on
H1841
Daniel
H7804 [H8756]
to deliver
H1934 H7712 [H8754]
him: and he laboured
H5705
till
H4606
the setting
H8122
of the sun
H5338 [H8682]
to extricate him.
15
H116
Then
H479
these
H1400
men
H7284 [H8684]
assembled
H5922
to
H4430
the king,
H560 [H8750]
and said
H4430
to the king,
H3046 [H8747]
Know,
H4430
O king,
H1882
that the law
H4076
of the Medes
H6540
and Persians
H3606
is, That no
H633
decree
H7010
nor statute
H4430
which the king
H6966 [H8681]
establisheth
H8133 [H8682]
may be changed.
16
H116
Then
H4430
the king
H560 [H8754]
commanded,
H858 [H8684]
and they brought
H1841
Daniel,
H7412 [H8754]
and cast
H1358
him into the den
H744
of lions.
H4430
Now the king
H6032 [H8750]
spoke
H560 [H8750]
and said
H1841
to Daniel,
H426
Thy God
H607
whom thou
H6399 [H8750]
servest
H8411
continually,
H7804 [H8755]
he will deliver thee.
17
H2298
And a
H69
stone
H858 [H8717]
was brought,
H7761 [H8752]
and laid
H5922
upon
H6433
the mouth
H1358
of the den;
H4430
and the king
H2857 [H8754]
sealed
H5824
it with his own signet,
H5824
and with the signet
H7261
of his lords;
H6640
that the purpose
H3809
might not
H8133 [H8748]
be changed
H1841
concerning Daniel.
18
H116
Then
H4430
the king
H236 [H8754]
went
H1965
to his palace,
H956 [H8754]
and passed the night
H2908
fasting:
H3809
neither
H1761
were instruments
H5954 [H8684]
of music brought
H6925
before
H8139
him: and his sleep
H5075 [H8754]
went
H5922
from him.
19
H116
Then
H4430
the king
H6966 [H8748]
arose
H8238
very early
H5053
in the morning,
H236 [H8754]
and went
H927 [H8726]
in haste
H1358
to the den
H744
of lions.
20
H7127 [H8749]
And when he came
H1358
to the den,
H2200 [H8754]
he cried
H6088 [H8750]
with a lamentable
H7032
voice
H1841
to Daniel:
H4430
and the king
H6032 [H8750]
spoke
H560 [H8750]
and said
H1841
to Daniel,
H1841
O Daniel,
H5649
servant
H2417
of the living
H426
God,
H426
is thy God,
H6399 [H8750]
whom thou servest
H8411
continually,
H3202 [H8754]
able
H7804 [H8756]
to deliver
H4481
thee from
H744
the lions?
21
H116
Then
H4449 [H8745]
said
H1841
Daniel
H5974
to
H4430
the king,
H4430
O king,
H2418 [H8747]
live
H5957
for ever.
22
H426
My God
H7972 [H8754]
hath sent
H4398
his messenger,
H5463 [H8754]
and hath shut
H744
the lions'
H6433
mouths,
H3809
that they have not
H2255 [H8745]
hurt
H3606 H6903
me: forasmuch as
H6925
before
H2136
him innocency
H7912 [H8728]
was found
H638
in me; and also
H6925
before
H4430
thee, O king,
H5648 [H8754]
have I done
H3809
no
H2248
hurt.
23
H116
Then
H4430
was the king
H7690
exceeding
H2868 [H8754]
glad
H5922
for him,
H560 [H8754]
and commanded
H5267 [H8682]
that they should take
H1841
Daniel
H4481
out of
H1358
the den.
H1841
So Daniel
H5267 [H8717]
was taken
H4481
out of
H1358
the den,
H3809
and no
H3606
manner
H2257
of hurt
H7912 [H8728]
was found
H540 [H8684]
upon him, because he believed
H426
in his God.
24
H4430
And the king
H560 [H8754]
commanded,
H858 [H8684]
and they brought
H479
those
H1400
men
H399 H7170 [H8754]
who had accused
H1841
Daniel,
H7412 [H8754]
and they cast
H1358
them into the den
H744
of lions,
H581
them,
H1123
their children,
H5389
and their wives;
H744
and the lions
H5705 H7981 [H8754]
had the mastery
H1855 0
of them, and broke
H3606
all
H1635
their bones
H1855 [H8684]
in pieces
H3809
before
H4291 [H8754]
they came
H773
to the bottom
H1358
of the den.
25
H116
Then
H4430
king
H1868
Darius
H3790 [H8754]
wrote
H3606
to all
H5972
people,
H524
nations,
H3961
and languages,
H1753 [H8748]
that dwell
H3606
in all
H772
the earth;
H8001
Peace
H7680 [H8748]
be multiplied to you.
26
H4481 H6925
I
H7761 [H8752]
make
H2942
a decree,
H3606
That in every
H7985
dominion
H4437
of my kingdom
H1934 H2112 [H8748]
men tremble
H1763 [H8751]
and fear
H4481 H6925
before
H426
the God
H1841
of Daniel:
H2417
for he is the living
H426
God,
H7011
and steadfast
H5957
for ever,
H4437
and his kingdom
H3809
that which shall not
H2255 [H8721]
be ruined,
H7985
and his dominion
H5705
shall be even to
H5491
the end.
