Daniel had been thrown into the lions' den because he continued to pray to his own god, even though king Darius had forbidden it. One day later the king came to inspect the lions. As the stone covering the den was rolled away, Daniel thanked God for letting him live. When the king saw Daniel still alive, he immediately set him free. |
