Daniel 6:23-24 King James Version (KJV)
23 Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
24 And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.

23 Then the king was delighted and gave an order to haul Daniel up from the den. So Daniel was hauled up out of the den. He had no injury of any kind, because he had trusted in his God. 24 The king gave another order, and those men who had maliciously accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the lions’ den—they, their children, and their wives. They did not even reach the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

23 The punishment and decree was carried out because Daniel spent the night in the lion’s den it was no longer illegal to bring him out. God had protected him and this stood as a witness and God would use this to move a pagan king to do something wise for those who followed God. We by following God can be used to positively influence.
24 So the men were thrown in and killed by the lions, this shows that the king was tired of the trouble makers and shows that the lions were hungry and that they only didn’t harm Daniel due to God’s protection.
