According to the Book of Daniel, Daniel served under the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar from 597 to about 562 BCE, then under Belshazzar. The book credits Darius the Mede with conquering Babylon, and Darius was king of Persia from 522 to 486 BCE. Daniel served Darius with distinction until his death and then served Cyrus, who was actually king of Persia from about 560 to 530 BCE. Thus he served under four kings in the Book of Daniel.
If the above sequence seems strange, it is because the Book of Daniel was actually written about four hundred years after the events it sees to portray, and the author had a limited grasp of what was already ancient history. [This author's commentary is absurd. The Bible comes to us as a unit. The Jews were not an ignorant culture. The book of Daniel would not have found its place in the cannon alongside the Book of Ezra, which includes King Darius in historical timeline and his successor, King Xerxes, in the Book of Esther. That this author concludes that this person Daniel likely never existed and "served no king in Babylon or Persia" is more than enough to disqualify him as any time of reliable commentator in the area of Christianity (or Judaism). What hubris - no matter how "substantial" his home library is.] There is no evidence outside the Book of Daniel that the character Daniel even existed, although it should be expected that records would exist of someone who held such exalted positions in both the Babylonian and Persian empires. It is more likely that Daniel served no king, either of Babylon or Persia.

Why did god call Daniel a prophet?
A:The Bible does mention more than one Daniel, but modern readers are generally concerned with Daniel from the Book of Daniel. Scholars say that this book was really only a second-century-BCE Jewish novel and that Daniel did not really exist. Daniel is considered a prophet by Christians, but not by Jews. The difference is no doubt based on the Christian use of passages in the book, that can be used as apparently foreshadowing the life of Jesus. On this view, Daniel became a prophet for Christians when they began to relate passages in the Book of Daniel to the New Testament.
