Bible verse
Now it pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom,
Daniel 6:1 · BSB
The verses around it, from Daniel 6.
1 Now it pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom,
2 and over them three administrators, including Daniel, to whom these satraps were accountable so that the king would not suffer loss.
3 Soon, by his extraordinary spirit, Daniel distinguished himself among the administrators and satraps. So the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
4 Thus the administrators and satraps sought a charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no charge or corruption, because he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was found in him.
5 Finally these men said, “We will never find any charge against this Daniel, unless we find something against him concerning the law of his God.”
