Daniel 6:2 BBE

¹  And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being then about sixty-two years old.

²  Darius was pleased to put over the kingdom a hundred and twenty captains, who were to be all through the kingdom;

³  And over them were three chief rulers, of whom Daniel was one; and the captains were to be responsible to the chief rulers, so that the king might undergo no loss.

⁴  Then this Daniel did his work better than the chief rulers and the captains, because there was a special spirit in him; and it was the king's purpose to put him over all the kingdom.
