'Endanger' in the Bible

You shall not go [about with] slander among your people; {you shall not endanger your neighbor's life}; I [am] Yahweh.

and the commander of the court officials said to Daniel, "I [am] afraid [of] my lord, the king, who has determined your food and your drink, for {why should} he see your face having a worse appearance than the young men who {are your age}? Then you will endanger my head with the king."
