Darius the Mede decided to divide the
kingdom into 120 provinces, and he appointed a
prince to rule over each province. The king also chose Daniel and
two others as administrators to supervise the princes
and to watch out for the king's interests. Daniel soon
proved himself more capable than all the other
administrators and princes. Because of his great
ability, the king made plans to place him over the entire
empire. Then the other administrators and princes began searching
for some fault in the way Daniel was handling his
affairs, but they couldn't find anything to criticize.
He was faithful and honest and always responsible. So they
concluded, "Our only chance of finding grounds for accusing Daniel
will be in connection with the requirements
of his religion."
So the administrators and princes went to the king and said, "Long
live King Darius! We administrators, prefects, princes, advisers,
and other officials have unanimously
agreed that Your Majesty should make a law that will be
strictly enforced. Give orders that for the
next thirty days anyone who prays to anyone, divine or
human--except to Your Majesty--will be thrown to the
lions. And let Your Majesty issue and sign this law so it cannot be
changed, a law of the Medes and Persians,
which cannot be revoked." So King Darius signed the
law.
