Daniel 6:2

---

← Daniel 6:1	Daniel 6:2 (KJV)	Daniel 6:3 →
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;	And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel [was] first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.	Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit [was] in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
