In context
1 It was pleasing before Darius, that he should set up over the kingdom, a hundred and twenty satraps,—that they should be over all the kingdom;
2 and, over these, three confidential ministers, of whom, Daniel, was first,—that, to them, these satraps should render an account, and, the king, not be suffering loss.
3 Then, this Daniel, signalised himself, above the ministers and the satraps, because, a distinguished spirit, was in him, and, the king, thought to set him up over all the kingdom,
4 Then, the ministers and the satraps, began seeking to find, occasion, against Daniel, in respect of the kingdom,—but, no occasion nor wickedness, could they find, inasmuch as, faithful, was he, and, neither error nor wickedness, could be found against him.
