Daniel 6:9

Daniel's Integrity And His Entrapment By His Enemies

⁸ Now, O king, establish the edict and you must sign the document [so] that [it] cannot be changed, according to [the] law of [the] Medes and Persians which cannot be revoked." ⁹ {So} the king, Darius, signed the writing and the interdict. ¹⁰ Now {when} Daniel realized that the document was signed, he went to his house ({now he had windows in his upper room that were open} toward Jerusalem), and three times {daily} he knelt on his knees and prayed and [gave] praise before his God, {just as} he had been doing {previously}.
