[1]It pleasedH6925[H8232][H8754] DariusH1868 to setH6966[H8684] overH5922 the kingdomH4437 an hundredH3969 and twentyH6243 princesH324, which should beH1934[H8748] over the wholeH3606 kingdomH4437; [No book]
[2]And overH5924 theseH4481 threeH8532 presidentsH5632; of whomH4481 DanielH1841 was firstH2298: thatH459 the princesH324 mightH1934[H8748] giveH3052[H8751] accountsH2941 unto them, and the kingH4430 should haveH1934[H8748] noH3809 damageH5142.[H8752] [No book]
[3]ThenH116 thisH1836 DanielH1841 wasH1934[H8754] preferredH5330[H8723] aboveH5922 the presidentsH5632 and princesH324, becauseH3606[H6903] an excellentH3493 spiritH7308 was in him; and the kingH4430 thoughtH6246[H8754] to setH6966[H8682] him overH5922 the wholeH3606 realmH4437. [No book]
[4]ThenH116 the presidentsH5632 and princesH324 soughtH1934[H8754][H1156][H8750] to findH7912[H8682] occasionH5931 against DanielH1841 concerningH6655 the kingdomH4437; butH3606 they couldH3202[H8750] findH7912[H8682] noneH3809 occasionH5931 norH3809 faultH7844[H8752]; forasmuchH6903 as he was faithfulH540[H8683], neitherH3809 was there anyH3606 errorH7960 or faultH7844[H8752] foundH7912[H8728] in himH5922. [No book]
[5]ThenH116 saidH560[H8750] theseH479 menH1400, We shall notH3809 findH7912[H8684] anyH3606 occasionH5931 againstH5922 thisH1836 DanielH1841, exceptH3861 we findH7912[H8681] it against him concerning the lawH1882 of his GodH426. [No book]
[6]ThenH116 theseH459 presidentsH5632 and princesH324 assembled togetherH7284[H8684] to the kingH4430, and saidH560[H8750] thusH3652 unto himH5922, KingH4430 DariusH1868, liveH2418[H8747] for everH5957. [No book]
[7]AllH3606 the presidentsH5632 of the kingdomH4437, the governorsH5460, and the princesH324, the counsellorsH1907, and the captainsH6347, have consulted togetherH3272[H8724] to establishH6966[H8742] a royalH4430 statuteH7010, and to make a firmH8631[H8742] decreeH633, that whosoever shall askH1156[H8748] a petitionH1159 ofH4481 anyH3606 GodH426 or manH606 forH5705 thirtyH8533 daysH3118, saveH3861 of theeH4481, O kingH4430, he shall be castH7412[H8729] into the denH1358 of lionsH744. [No book]
[8]NowH3705, O kingH4430, establishH6966[H8681] the decreeH633, and signH7560[H8748] the writingH3792, that it be notH3809 changedH8133[H8682], according to the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540, which alterethH5709[H8748] notH3809. [No book]
[9]WhereforeH3606[H1836][H6903] kingH4430 DariusH1868 signedH7560[H8754] the writingH3792 and the decreeH633. [No book]
[10]Now when DanielH1841 knewH3046[H8754] that the writingH3792 was signedH7560[H8752], he wentH5954[H8754] into his houseH1005; and his windowsH3551 being openH6606[H8759] in his chamberH5952 towardH5049 JerusalemH3390, he kneeledH1289[H8750] uponH5922 his kneesH1291 threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118, and prayedH6739[H8743], and gave thanksH3029[H8683] beforeH6925 his GodH426, asH6903[H3606] he didH1934[H8754][H5648][H8751] aforetimeH4481[H1836].[H6928] [No book]
[11]ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 assembledH7284[H8684], and foundH7912[H8684] DanielH1841 prayingH1156[H8750] and making supplicationH2604[H8723] beforeH6925 his GodH426. [No book]
[12]ThenH116 they came nearH7127[H8754], and spakeH560[H8750] beforeH6925 the kingH4430 concerningH5922 the king'sH4430 decreeH633; Hast thou notH3809 signedH7560[H8754] a decreeH633, that everyH3606 manH606 that shall askH1156[H8748] a petition ofH4481 anyH3606 GodH426 or manH606 withinH5705 thirtyH8533 daysH3118, saveH3861 of theeH4481, O kingH4430, shall be castH7412[H8729] into the denH1358 of lionsH744? The kingH4430 answeredH6032[H8750] and saidH560[H8750], The thingH4406 is trueH3330, according to the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540, which alterethH5709[H8748] notH3809. [No book]
[13]ThenH116 answeredH6032[H8754] they and saidH560[H8750] beforeH6925 the kingH4430, That DanielH1841, which is ofH4481 the childrenH1123 of the captivityH1547 of JudahH3061, regardethH7761[H8754][H2942] notH3809 theeH5922, O kingH4430, nor the decreeH633 that thou hast signedH7560[H8754], but makethH1156[H8750] his petitionH1159 threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118. [No book]
[14]ThenH116 the kingH4430, when he heardH8086[H8754] these wordsH4406, was soreH7690 displeasedH888[H8754] with himself, and setH7761[H8754] his heartH1079 onH5922 DanielH1841 to deliverH7804[H8756] him: and he labouredH1934[H8754][H7712][H8723] tillH5705 the going downH4606 of the sunH8122 to deliverH5338 himH8682. [No book]
[15]ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 assembledH7284[H8684] untoH5922 the kingH4430, and saidH560[H8750] unto the kingH4430, KnowH3046[H8747], O kingH4430, that the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540 is, That noH3606 decreeH633 nor statuteH7010 which the kingH4430 establishethH6966[H8681] may be changedH8133.[H8682] [No book]
[16]ThenH116 the kingH4430 commandedH560[H8754], and they broughtH858[H8684] DanielH1841, and castH7412[H8754] him into the denH1358 of lionsH744. Now the kingH4430 spakeH6032[H8750] and saidH560[H8750] unto DanielH1841, Thy GodH426 whom thouH607 servestH6399[H8750] continuallyH8411, he will deliverH7804 theeH8755. [No book]
[17]And aH2298 stoneH69 was broughtH858[H8717], and laidH7761[H8752] uponH5922 the mouthH6433 of the denH1358; and the kingH4430 sealedH2857[H8754] it with his own signetH5824, and with the signetH5824 of his lordsH7261; that the purposeH6640 might notH3809 be changedH8133[H8748] concerning DanielH1841. [No book]
[18]ThenH116 the kingH4430 wentH236[H8754] to his palaceH1965, and passed the nightH956[H8754] fastingH2908: neitherH3809 were instrumentsH1761 of musick broughtH5954[H8684] beforeH6925 him: and his sleepH8139 wentH5075[H8754] from himH5922. [No book]
[19]ThenH116 the kingH4430 aroseH6966[H8748] very earlyH8238 in the morningH5053, and wentH236[H8754] in hasteH927[H8726] unto the denH1358 of lionsH744. [No book]
[20]And when he cameH7127[H8749] to the denH1358, he criedH2200[H8754] with a lamentableH6088[H8750] voiceH7032 unto DanielH1841: and the kingH4430 spakeH6032[H8750] and saidH560[H8750] to DanielH1841, O DanielH1841, servantH5649 of the livingH2417 GodH426, is thy GodH426, whom thou servestH6399[H8750] continuallyH8411, ableH3202[H8754] to deliverH7804[H8756] thee fromH4481 the lionsH744? [No book]
[21]ThenH116 saidH4449[H8745] DanielH1841 untoH5974 the kingH4430, O kingH4430, liveH2418[H8747] for everH5957. [No book]
[22]My GodH426 hath sentH7972[H8754] his angelH4398, and hath shutH5463[H8754] the lions'H744 mouthsH6433, that they have notH3809 hurtH2255[H8745] me: forasmuch asH3606[H6903] beforeH6925 him innocencyH2136 was foundH7912[H8728] in me; and alsoH638 beforeH6925 thee, O kingH4430, have I doneH5648[H8754] noH3809 hurtH2248. [No book]
[23]ThenH116 was the kingH4430 exceedingH7690 gladH2868[H8754] for himH5922, and commandedH560[H8754] that they should takeH5267 DanielH1841 upH5267[H8682] out ofH4481 the denH1358. So DanielH1841 was taken upH5267[H8717] out ofH4481 the denH1358, and noH3809 mannerH3606 of hurtH2257 was foundH7912[H8728] upon him, because he believedH540[H8684] in his GodH426. [No book]
[24]And the kingH4430 commandedH560[H8754], and they broughtH858[H8684] thoseH479 menH1400 which had accusedH399[H8754][H7170] DanielH1841, and they castH7412[H8754] them into the denH1358 of lionsH744, themH581, their childrenH1123, and their wivesH5389; and the lionsH744 had the masteryH5705[H7981][H8754] of them, and brakeH1855 allH3606 their bonesH1635 in piecesH1855[H8684] or everH3809 they cameH4291[H8754] at the bottomH773 of the denH1358. [No book]
[25]ThenH116 kingH4430 DariusH1868 wroteH3790[H8754] unto allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, that dwellH1753[H8748] in allH3606 the earthH772; PeaceH8001 be multipliedH7680 unto youH8748. [No book]
[26]IH4481[H6925] makeH7761[H8752] a decreeH2942, That in everyH3606 dominionH7985 of my kingdomH4437 men trembleH1934[H8748][H2112] and fearH1763[H8751] beforeH4481[H6925] the GodH426 of DanielH1841: for he is the livingH2417 GodH426, and stedfastH7011 for everH5957, and his kingdomH4437 that which shall notH3809 be destroyedH2255[H8721], and his dominionH7985 shall be even untoH5705 the endH5491. [No book]
[27]He deliverethH7804[H8757] and rescuethH5338[H8683], and he workethH5648[H8751] signsH852 and wondersH8540 in heavenH8065 and in earthH772, who hath deliveredH7804[H8758] DanielH1841 fromH4481 the powerH3028 of the lionsH744. [No book]
[28]So thisH1836 DanielH1841 prosperedH6744[H8684] in the reignH4437 of DariusH1868, and in the reignH4437 of CyrusH3567 the PersianH6543. [No book]
