Daniel 6:1 – Who is Darius the Mede?
Daniel 6 and 1-2 Maccabees
There is another version of the story of Daniel in the lions' den in the Apocryphal addition to Daniel known as Bel and the Dragon (vv. 23-42). In that version, God seizes the prophet Habakkuk by the hair and transports him to Babylon so that he can give Daniel his dinner.
