Let’s walk through a quick summary of the story of Daniel and the lions’ den and see if it rings a bell:

Daniel, who was righteous, was accused by those jealous of him on a trumped-up charge (6:4-13). The king recognized the injustice of Daniel’s condemnation and sought to deliver him (6:14). Nevertheless, Daniel was condemned, given over to certain death; then placed in a pit with a stone laid on the opening and sealed by the king (6:15-17). At daybreak those who lamented the way Daniel was treated came and found that his God had delivered him.
