Daniel 6:1-3

Darius’ Officials Seek to Accuse Daniel

¹It seemed good to Darius that he set 120 satraps over the kingdom, that they would be in charge of the whole kingdom, 2 and over them three commissioners (of whom ^aDaniel was one), that these satraps might be accountable to them, and that the king might not suffer ^bloss. 3 Then this Daniel began distinguishing himself ¹among the commissioners and satraps because an ^aextraordinary spirit was in him, and the king planned to set him over the ^bentire kingdom.
