Daniel 6:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ Then those men went as a group and found Daniel. They saw him praying and asking God for help. ¹² So they went to the king. They talked to him about the law he had made. They said, “Didn’t you write a law that says no one may pray to any god or man except you, our king? Doesn’t it say that anyone who disobeys during the next 30 days will be thrown into the lions’ den?”

The king answered, “Yes, I wrote that law. And the laws of the Medes and Persians cannot be canceled.”

¹³ Then those men spoke to the king. They said, “Daniel is one of the captives from Judah. And he is not paying attention to the law you wrote. Daniel still prays to his God three times every day.”
