Daniel 6:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

Daniel Is Rescued From the Lions’ Den

6 It seemed like a good plan to Darius to appoint one hundred twenty satraps over the kingdom. They were to rule throughout the kingdom. ² Above them there would be three supervisors (Daniel was one of them) to whom these satraps would report, so that the king would not suffer any loss. ³ It came about that this Daniel distinguished himself above the supervisors and satraps, because there was an outstanding spirit in him. So the king intended to promote him so that he would be in charge of the entire kingdom.
