* Wherefore kol # den # king Darius signed r @ the writing and the decree . * Now when Daniel knew y @ that the writing was signed r @, he went into his house ; and his windows being open p @ in his chamber toward Jerusalem Y @ruwshalem (Chald )#, he kneeled b @ upon his knees three times a day , and prayed ts @, and gave thanks y @ before his God , as q @bel # he did aforetime min # den #. * Then these men assembled r @, and found sh @ Daniel praying and making supplication before his God . * Then they came near q @, and spake before the king concerning the kings decree ; Hast thou not signed r @ a decree , that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days , save of thee , O king , shall be cast r @ into the den of lions ? The king answered and said , The thing is true , according to the law of the Medes and Persians , which altereth not . * Then answered they and said before the king , That Daniel Daniye #l #, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah , regardeth not thee , O king , nor the decree that thou hast signed r @, but maketh his petition three times a day . * Then the king , when he heard sh @ these words , was sore displeased with himself , and set his heart on Daniel to deliver sh @ him : and he laboured sh @ till the going down of the sun to deliver n @ him . * Then these men assembled r @ unto the king , and said unto the king , Know y @, O king , that the law of the Medes and Persians is , That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed sh @.
