The Setup

Let's set the stage: We're in ancient Babylon. The Israelites have been exiled, and Daniel, an Israelite, is living in this foreign land. But even in exile, Daniel's skill and integrity catch the eye of the king, Darius.

Daniel is crushing it at his job. He's overseeing the kingdom, and Darius plans to promote him. This doesn't sit well with the other officials. Cue jealousy. They're plotting because they can't stand Daniel's success.

Here's the thing: Daniel's loyalty to God is unwavering. He's praying three times a day, every day. The schemers know this and decide it's the perfect trap.
