Daniel 6:3

---

← Daniel 6:2	Daniel 6:3 (KJV)	Daniel 6:4 →
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.	Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he [was] faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
