Daniel 6:2-4
International Standard Version
2 along with three chief administrators from them, one of which was Daniel. The regional authorities[a] reported to these three administrators,[b] so that the king would experience no losses. 3 Daniel distinguished himself among all the administrators and regional authorities,[c] because he was of an extraordinary spirit. Therefore the king planned to appoint him over the whole kingdom.

4 Because of this, the administrators and regional authorities[d] tried to bring allegations of dereliction of duty in government affairs against Daniel, but they were unable to find any charges of corruption. Daniel[e] was trustworthy, and no evidence of[f] negligence or corruption could be found against him.
