Medal No. 16 – Daniel in the Lions' Den

Daniel was a handsome, intelligent boy of royal descent, who was exiled from his home in the Land of Israel, his country of birth, before the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE. He grew up in the palace of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, became a favorite of the King and later, the interpreter of the King's dreams. For this, he was appointed head of the King's wise men and the Kingdom of Babylon. When Nebuchadnezzar died, his son Belshazar inherited the throne. After Belshazar was killed, Darius, King of Persia, took over the throne and, like the kings before him, appointed Daniel as Head of his Counselors in sole charge of the empire. However, out of sheer envy, Daniel's rivals sought his downfall. When Daniel prayed to G-d, three times daily, and would not pray to the King, they created a situation in which the King had no choice but to have Daniel thrown into the lions' den. Daniel spent a night with the lions but was rewarded by God for his faith and loyalty and remained untouched by the fierce lions. The next morning, King Darius was happy to see Daniel safe and sound and praised the G-d of Israel.
