Daniel 6:2-4

Complete Jewish Bible

^2 (1) Daryavesh decided to set over the kingdom 120 viceroys to rule throughout the entire kingdom, ^3 (2) with three chiefs over them, of whom Dani’el was one, so that these viceroys could be responsible to them and so that the king’s interests would be safeguarded. ^4 (3) But because an extraordinary spirit was in this Dani’el, he so distinguished himself above the other chiefs and the viceroys that the king considered putting him in charge of the whole kingdom.
