In context
1 It hath been good before Darius, and he hath established over the kingdom satraps--a hundred and twenty--that they may be throughout the whole kingdom,
2 and higher than they three presidents, of whom Daniel is first, that these satraps may give to them an account, and the king have no loss.
3 Then this Daniel hath been overseer over the presidents and satraps, because that an excellent spirit is in him, and the king hath thought to establish him over the whole kingdom.
4 Then the presidents and satraps have been seeking to find a cause of complaint against Daniel concerning the kingdom, and any cause of complaint and corruption they are not able to find, because that he is faithful, and any error and corruption have not been found in him.
5 Then these men are saying, `We do not find against this Daniel any cause of complaint, except we have found it against him in the law of his God.'
