Daniel 6:1-3

Orthodox Jewish Bible

6 It pleased Daryavesh to set over the malchut an hundred and twenty satraps, which should be over the whole malchut;

^2 (6:3) And over these three overseers, of whom Daniel was one, that the satraps might give accounts unto them, and that the king should suffer no loss.

^3 (6:4) Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the overseers and satraps, because an excellent ruach was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole malchut.
