Daniel is thrown into the Lions den. Jehova saves him. Daniel was one of 3 governors placed over 120 satraps (mayors) and they did not like the way he was ethical. They wanted him to work with them to cheat and steal from the king. Daniel would not, so they plotted against him. Daniel's weakness was his habit of praying 3 times a day. The other leaders set him up, he would not stop praying to Jehova God, and then the plan backfired on them. I think since Daniel was so blessed maybe his praying 3 times a day was a good lesson for us.
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.

3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
