Chapter six is the conclusion of the historical half of the book and picks up within the first several months after Babylon fell to Persia (Daniel 6:1-3).

Their plan was similar to the one against Daniel’s friends in chapter three: attack him with his own religion. Using Darius’ own vanity against him, they presented a plan to make sure he consolidated control of the many religions and factions that were present in Babylon by suggesting that he temporarily handle all requests personally.
