Daniel again distinguishes himself, this time with the new king, the king of the Medes, Darius. For this he earns powerful enemies who plot to bring him down. Finding no fault in his administration they turn to use his commitment to God against him. The result it a night with lions, but ultimately, deliverance and continued success. His enemies face the fate they plotted for him, and Darius is convinced that Daniel's God is a God to be reckoned with.
