    1It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;

    2and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage.

    3Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

    4Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

    5Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.

The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

    13Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.

    14Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him.

    15Then these men assembled together unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
