“Then they approached and spoke before the king about the king’s injunction, ‘Did you not sign an injunction that any man who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, is to be cast into the lions’ den?’
The king answered and said, ‘The statement is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.’
Then they answered and spoke before the king, ‘Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps making his petition three times a day.’
Then, as soon as the king heard this statement, he was deeply distressed and set his mind on delivering Daniel;
and even until sunset he kept exerting himself to rescue him.
Then these men came by agreement to the king and said to the king, ‘Recognize, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or statute which the king establishes may be changed.’
Then the king gave orders, and Daniel was brought in and cast into the lions’ den.
The king spoke and said to Daniel, ‘Your God whom you constantly serve will Himself deliver you.’
And a stone was brought and laid over the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signet rings of his nobles, so that nothing might be changed in regard to Daniel” (Daniel 6:12-17).
When human resources have been exhausted, God has only begun to work.
The ink had barely dried on Darius’ decree when Daniel’s enemies reappeared to accuse him of disregarding the order.
Only then did Darius realize the grave consequences of his actions.
In his deep distress the king exhausted every legal effort to save Daniel, but to no avail.
Even he could not revoke the death sentence he had unwittingly placed on his loyal and trusted servant.
In his grief and humility he confessed that God Himself would deliver Daniel. He was right!
