"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.)
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.
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.
Daniel
He was once thrown into a lions' den.
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.
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.
there have been several movies the first one was about Daniel and the lions den.

Daniel's faith in God protected him from falling into despair and compromise when faced with trials and temptations. It gave him strength and courage to stand firm in his beliefs and led to his miraculous deliverance from the lion's den.
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.
No, according to the Bible, it was the angel of the Lord who shut the mouths of the lions and saved Daniel from harm in the den. There is no mention of Jesus physically entering the den in that account.
The duration of Den of Lions is 1.67 hours.
