He gave Daniel, an elder, the most power to rule because he saw Daniel as sagacious and fit to rule.
This made the other rulers envious, so they wanted to figure out a way to make Daniel seem evil.
So, they decided to make a law that made it so it was illegal to pray to God like Daniel did three times a day, but they knew he would continue. King Darius accepted.
Okay!
Us rulers are all in favor of a law where no one can pray to any god for 30 days.
Just sign it to make it official.
As expected, Daniel went to his window and prayed. When the rulers saw this, they told King Darius, and the punishment for breaking this law was to be thrown into a den of lions.
Daniel was thrown into the den. However, God shut the lions' mouths because He knew that Daniel was innocent.
