Daniel and the Lions' Den
Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree. Dan. 6:9
Their persuasion was so great, he just signed the paper.
All prayer was to be addressed to the king in recognition of his power in the religious realm. The penalty for rebelling against his religious authority was to be death by being thrown into a den of lions. Darius, no doubt flattered by the adulation he would receive, consented to the plot and signed it into law, which according to Medo-Persian custom was irrevocable.
