About this story

Daniel is a trusted official in the kingdom of Darius, but jealous rivals search for a way to destroy him. They persuade the king to issue a law forbidding anyone from praying to any god or person except the king. Daniel continues praying openly to God and is condemned to spend the night in a den of lions. Although King Darius regrets his decision, even he cannot cancel the law. Daniel in the Lions’ Den is a famous Bible story about faith, courage and remaining loyal to one’s beliefs when obedience carries a deadly price.

Scene 1 of Daniel in the Lions’ Den, illustratedDaniel en el foso de los leones · Scene 1

El rey Darío pone a ciento veinte gobernadores en todo el reino. También pone a tres jefes sobre ellos. Daniel es uno de esos tres jefes. Los gobernadores dan cuentas a esos jefes. Así el rey no pierde nada. Daniel hace muy bien su trabajo. Daniel es mejor que los otros jefes y los gobernadores, porque tiene un espíritu excelente. Entonces el rey piensa poner a Daniel sobre todo el reino. Los otros jefes y los gobernadores buscan algo malo contra Daniel en su trabajo para el reino. Pero no encuentran nada. Daniel es fiel. Daniel no tiene error ni falta. Entonces esos hombres dicen: «No vamos a encontrar nada contra Daniel. Solo podemos encontrar algo en la ley de su Dios».
