AnswerThe story in Daniel chapter 6 says that Daniel was thrust into the role of second-in command of the entire Persian empire, and that jealous men conspired to have Daniel thrown into the den of lions, taking advantage of the well-known Persian code of morality in which a promise can not be broken. %They had King Darius issue an edict that prevented anyone from any form of prayer, an edict which Daniel immediately broke. It follows with a pious passage that can only be Propaganda. Not only was Daniel a role model for the readers, by praying to his God in spite of the risk, his God was able to save him from the lions, just as God had previously saved the young men from the furnace in a quite similar context. The fact that the story even tells of the wrong Persian king who defeated the Babylonians (Darius, when it should have been Cyrus) tells us of the fictional nature of the story.For praying to his God Jehovah during the time a law had been passed saying that prayers may only be directed to the king. This law had been passed in order to trap Daniel into committing an offence.
