Daniel in the lions' den
Officials manipulated Darius into forbidding prayer to anyone but the king, but Daniel continued praying toward Jerusalem three times a day. Cast into the lions' den, he was found unharmed because God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths (Daniel 6:1-28).

📖 Daniel 6:1–3
1Now it pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom, 2and over them three administrators, including Daniel, to whom these satraps were accountable so that the king would not suffer loss. 3Soon, by his extraordinary spirit, Daniel distinguished himself among the administrators and satraps. So the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
