Daniel 6:1-3

New Life Version

Daniel Is Thrown to the Lions

6 It pleased Darius to choose 120 captains to rule over the people. They would rule over the whole nation. ² And three leaders were to rule over them, and Daniel was one. The captains were to answer to them, so that the king might suffer no loss. ³ Then Daniel showed that he could do better work than the other leaders and captains because a special spirit was in him. So the king planned to give him power over the whole nation.
