http://bibleencyclopedia.com/goodsalt/Daniel_1_Jerusalem_Besieged_By_Babylon.htm9Daniel wasnt like the king of Israel. He loved God and did everything he could to obey God.

http://bibletodaykids.com/DanLionDen.html10King N had his servant, Ashpenaz, choose three men to serve him. When Daniel and three of his friends were chosen, they were asked to eat all of the fancy, royal food!

http://www.theglorystory.com/html/daniel_part_1_bible_pictures.htm11This was a problem for Daniel. God had told the Israelites to eat healthy. Daniel decided to obey God, no matter what!

The king had ordered you to eat this food so that you can be strong and healthy! If you dont, the king might kill you!http://www.essex1.com/people/paul/bible13.html13Daniel was not afraid though, and he had a plan. He said

Let my friends and me eat what God has commanded us to eat. Give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. After 10 days, compare us with the others who have eaten the kings food, and see for yourself who looks healthier.

And so thats what they did.After 10 days, Daniel and his friends were stronger and healthier than the others, so they were allowed to eat their own food!

This law made it illegal to pray to anyone but the king.http://www.theglorystory.com/html/daniel_part_2_bible_pictures.htm20Despite this law, Daniel was faithful and continued to pray to God.

The jealous officials caught him and reported it to King N.
