You'll see it at the near end of the third allinea (if that word is right). Then in the sixth allinea also almost to the end of that part.Maybe reading works better than fishing.
Yes, The book of Daniel is known as a scource and the whole story of Daniel in the lion pit is linked to it. He and many Jews were deported by King Nebuchadnezzar, who's dream interpreter he became and he rose to high office.
But somehow through the intrigues of jaleous coutiers he was found praying to his own God.(which was forbidden) As the law of the King could NOT be altered The King, against his own will had to condemn him to the lion pit.
When the next morning they found him still alive he was restored to his high place and those who had sought his downfall were thrown into the pit.

Edit:After the Persian conquest of Babylon, Daniel held the office of the first of the "three presidents" of the empire under the reign of the obscure figure of Darius the Mede, and was thus practically at the head of state affairs, with the ability to influence the prospects of the captive Jews (Daniel 9), whom he had at last the happiness of seeing restored to their own land; although he did not return with them, but remained still in Babylon.
