Daniel 6:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ The supervisors, assistant governors, governors, the people who advise you and the captains of the soldiers have all agreed on something. We think the king should make this law that everyone would have to obey: No one should pray to any god or man except to you, our king. This should be done for the next 30 days. Anyone who doesn’t obey will be thrown into the lions’ den. ⁸ Now, our king, make the law. Write it down so it cannot be changed. The laws of the Medes and Persians cannot be canceled.” ⁹ So King Darius made the law and had it written.
