    2 Darius was pleased to put over the kingdom a hundred and twenty captains, who were to be all through the kingdom;

    3 And over them were three chief rulers, of whom Daniel was one; and the captains were to be responsible to the chief rulers, so that the king might undergo no loss.

    4 Then this Daniel did his work better than the chief rulers and the captains, because there was a special spirit in him; and it was the king's purpose to put him over all the kingdom.

    5 Then the chief rulers and the captains were looking for some cause for putting Daniel in the wrong in connection with the kingdom, but they were unable to put forward any wrongdoing or error against him; because he was true, and no error or wrong was to be seen in him.

    6 Then these men said, We will only get a reason for attacking Daniel in connection with the law of his God.

    7 Then these chief rulers and the captains came to the king and said to him, O King Darius, have life for ever.
