Daniel 6:1 in context

  1. 1It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty local governors, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
  2. 2and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these local governors might give account to them, and that the king should suffer no loss.
  3. 3Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the local governors, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
