Daniel 6 Commentary

The new king, Darius, reorganizes the kingdom with Daniel in a prominent position.

The other rulers convince the king to sign a decree that prohibits petitioning anyone besides the king.

Although Daniel knew the decree had been signed he continued praying, the rulers accused him before the king.

King Darius was distressed but was required by law to throw Daniel in the lion’s den.

God saves Daniel from the lions and Darius was very glad.

Darius makes a new decree that declares Daniel’s God ruler.
