petition <DAN6 -:7 > All the presidents of the kingdom, the 
governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, 
have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to 
make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a {petition} of any 
God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be 
cast into the den of lions.



petition <DAN6 -:12 > Then they came near, and spake before the 
king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree,
 that every man that shall ask [a {petition}] of any God or man 
within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the 
den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing [is] true, 
according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth 
not.



petition <DAN6 -:13 > Then answered they and said before the 
king, That Daniel, which [is] of the children of the captivity 
of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou 
hast signed, but maketh his {petition} three times a day.
