1 It pleased Darayavush to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;

2 and over them three administrators, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king might not suffer loss.

3 Then this Daniel was distinguished above the administrators and the satraps, because an extraordinary spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
