Daniel 6:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And over these three rulers, (of whom Daniel was one) that the governors might give accompts unto them, and the king [a]should have no damage.
3 Now this Daniel [b]was preferred above the rulers, and governors, because the spirit was excellent in him, and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 ¶ Wherefore the rulers and governors [c]sought an occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom: but they could find none occasion nor fault: for he was so faithful that there was no blame nor fault found in him.
