Daniel was a faithful servant of God who was taken captive by the Babylonians. He was known for his wisdom and was appointed to a high position in the Babylonian government. However, this made the other officials jealous, and they conspired to get rid of him. They convinced King Darius to issue a decree that no one could pray to anyone except him for thirty days. Daniel continued to pray to God three times a day, as he always had. When the officials caught him, they reported him to the king, and he was thrown into the lion's den.
