Answer Details
Daniel was set up to be thrown to the lions by the presidents and satraps of Persia. These were powerful officials appointed by the king to help govern the provinces of the Persian Empire. They were jealous of Daniel's position in the kingdom, and conspired to have him killed by tricking the king into passing a law that would require anyone who prayed to a god or man other than the king to be thrown into a den of lions. Even though Daniel was loyal to the king, he continued to pray to God, and as a result, he was thrown into the den of lions. However, God protected him from harm, and he emerged from the den unscathed.
