It seemed good to Darius, and he appointed over the kingdom a hundred and twenty governors, to be over his whole kingdom.

2And three princes over them of whom Daniel was one: that the governors might give an account to them, and the king might have no trouble.

3And Daniel excelled all the princes, and governors: because a greater spirit of God was in him.

4And the king thought to set him over all the kingdom; whereupon the princes, and the governors, sought to find occasion against Daniel, with regard to the king: and they could find no cause, nor suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault, nor suspicion was found in him.

5Then these men said: We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless perhaps concerning the law of his God.

6Then the princes, and the governors, craftily suggested to the king, and spoke thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever:

7All the princes of the kingdom, the magistrates, and governors, the senators, and judges, have consulted together, that an imperial decree, and an edict be published: That whosoever shall ask any petition of any god, or man, for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of the lions.
