Daniel 6:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ So King Darius put the order in writing.

¹⁰ Daniel found out that the king had signed the order. In spite of that, he did just as he had always done before. He went home to his upstairs room. Its windows opened toward Jerusalem. He went to his room three times a day to pray. He got down on his knees and gave thanks to his God. ¹¹ Some of the other royal officials went to where Daniel was staying. They saw him praying and asking God for help.
