No, the Daniel thrown into the lions' den is not the son of David. The Daniel referred to in the story is a prominent figure in the Book of Daniel, who lived during the Babylonian exile. In 1 Chronicles 3, the sons of David are listed, and Daniel is not mentioned among them.

Daniel
"They" is Daniel, and it happens in the book of the same name. (Actually, it winds up happening to several other people also, but it's still in the book of Daniel.)
Daniel's prayer resulted in him being thrown into the den of lions because he continued to worship only God despite the decree issued by King Darius.
Daniel was thrown into a den of lions. An angel came and protected him. Daniel was saved from being eaten by the lions through the protection and power of the angel.
Daniel prayed to the Lord that he would be protected and, as he had been thrown into the lions' cage for doing His work, the Lord was happy to oblige. His infinite love and mercy may also be factors in why God commanded the lions to leave Daniel unharmed. I agree with this answer.
The Babylonian king who cast Daniel into the den of lions was King Darius. According to the Book of Daniel in the Bible, King Darius was manipulated by his officials to issue a decree that resulted in Daniel being thrown into the lions' den.
The servants who lied to the king of Babylon in the times of Profet Daniel, were thrown in the lions pit.
Daniel's lions' den, as described in the Book of Daniel, was a large, enclosed space, likely a stone pit or cave, designed to contain wild lions. It had an entrance that could be sealed, and the floor was probably rough and uneven, filled with debris and remnants of past meals. The atmosphere was dark and foreboding, emphasizing the danger Daniel faced as he was thrown in as punishment for his faithfulness to God. The presence of the lions added a sense of imminent peril, highlighting the miraculous nature of Daniel's survival.
One thought:Most scholars say NO, this is not a true story.It was taken from the Apocryphal writings:"Destruction of Bel and the Dragon", which was supposedly an addition to the book of Daniel, but was never considered part of the inspired Jewish canon.
In the biblical story of Daniel and the lions' den, there were originally 120 satraps appointed to rule over the kingdom. King Darius then appointed three administrators, including Daniel, to oversee the satraps. Due to Daniel's exceptional qualities, the other administrators became jealous and plotted against him, leading to his punishment of being thrown into the den of lions. The exact number of lions in the den is not specified in the biblical text.
Daniel was thrown into the lion's den because he continued to pray to God despite a royal decree from King Darius that prohibited prayer to anyone except the king for thirty days. His enemies, knowing Daniel's devotion, used this law to trap him, leading to his arrest and punishment. Despite the danger, Daniel remained faithful to his beliefs, which ultimately resulted in God's intervention and his miraculous protection from the lions.
