Daniel 6:1-3
Darby Translation
6 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be in all the kingdom;
2 and over these, three presidents—of whom Daniel was one—to whom these satraps should render account, and that the king should suffer no loss.
3 Now this Daniel surpassed the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to appoint him over the whole realm.
