Daniel 6:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
6 1 Daniel is made ruler over the governors. 5 An act against Daniel. 16 He is put into a den of lions by the commandment of the king. 23 He is delivered by faith in God. 24 Daniel’s accusers are put unto the lions. 25 Darius by a decree magnifieth the God of Daniel.
1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom [a]an hundred and twenty governors, which should be over the whole kingdom,
2 And over these three rulers, (of whom Daniel was one) that the governors might give accompts unto them, and the king [b]should have no damage.
3 Now this Daniel [c]was preferred above the rulers, and governors, because the spirit was excellent in him, and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
