Daniel 6:2-4
New International Version
2 with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel.(A) The satraps were made accountable(B) to them so that the king might not suffer loss. 3 Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.(C) 4 At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges(D) against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent.
Daniel 6:2-4
King James Version
2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

Daniel 6:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 and over them, three commissioners (of whom (A)Daniel was one), so that these satraps would be accountable to them, and that the king would not [a]suffer (B)loss. 3 Then this Daniel began distinguishing himself [b]among the commissioners and satraps because [c]he possessed an (C)extraordinary spirit, and the king intended to appoint him over the (D)entire kingdom. 4 Then the commissioners and satraps began (E)trying to find a ground of accusation against Daniel regarding [d]government affairs; but they could find (F)no ground of accusation or evidence of corruption, because he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was to be found in him.

Daniël 6:2-4
BasisBijbel
2 Hij besloot bestuurders aan te stellen over alle 120 provincies van zijn rijk. 3 Deze stonden onder toezicht van drie rijksbestuurders. De rijksbestuurders moesten ervoor zorgen dat de bestuurders van de provincies de koning niet benadeelden. Daniël was één van die drie. 4 En hij was een beter rijksbestuurder dan de andere twee, doordat hij erg wijs en verstandig was. Daarom was de koning van plan hem het toezicht over het hele rijk te geven.
