signed <DAN6 -:9 > Wherefore king Darius {signed} the writing and

the decree.

signed <DAN6 -:10 > Now when Daniel knew that the writing was

{signed}, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his

chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a

day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did

aforetime.

signed <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.

signed <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.
