4Thus the administrators and satraps sought a charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no charge or corruption, because he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was found in him.
5Finally these men said, “We will never find any charge against this Daniel, unless we find something against him concerning the law of his God.”
6So the administrators and satraps went together to the king and said, “O King Darius, may you live forever!
7All the royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers, and governors have agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce a decree that for thirty days anyone who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the den of lions.
8Therefore, O king, establish the decree and sign the document so that it cannot be changed— in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”
9Therefore King Darius signed the written decree.
