Daniel 6 Summary
Daniel 6 recounts how Daniel kept praying despite a royal decree and was delivered from the lions’ den.
Jealous officials trick the king into banning prayer to anyone but him. Daniel keeps praying to God as usual, openly and faithfully.
Cast into the lions’ den, Daniel is preserved by God’s angel, and the king proclaims the living God who rescues and delivers.
