Daniel6:12
12 Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the kings decree, Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions ? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not .
They had enough now, they came with open mouth, they pleaded the breach of the Kings Lawes, they tell the King he had signed it, and it could not be disannulled, the Kings Authority, and the honour of the nation lay at stake.
The King owned such a Law and it was unalterable.
