Daniel 6:1-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
1
It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps over the kingdom, to be in charge of the whole kingdom,
2
and over them, three commissioners (of whom Daniel was one), so that these satraps would be accountable to them, and that the king would not suffer loss.
3
Then this Daniel began distinguishing himself among the commissioners and satraps because he possessed an extraordinary spirit, and the king intended to appoint him over the entire kingdom.
4
Then the commissioners and satraps began trying to find a ground of accusation against Daniel regarding government affairs; but they could find no ground of accusation or
evidence of
corruption, because he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was
to be
found in him.
5
Then these men said, 'We will not find any ground of accusation against this Daniel unless we find
it
against him regarding the law of his God.'
King James Version
Chapter 6
1
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
2
And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
3
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4
Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5
Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
1
Darius decided to appoint 120 satraps over the kingdom, stationed throughout the realm,
2
and over them three administrators, including Daniel. These satraps would be accountable to them so that the king would not be defrauded.
3
Daniel distinguished himself above the administrators and satraps because he had an extraordinary spirit, so the king planned to set him over the whole realm.
4
The administrators and satraps, therefore, kept trying to find a charge against Daniel regarding the kingdom. But they could find no charge or corruption, for he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was found in him.
5
Then these men said, "We will never find any charge against this Daniel unless we find something against him concerning the law of his God."
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
1
Darius the Mede decided to divide the kingdom into 120 provinces, and he appointed a high officer to rule over each province.
2
The king also chose Daniel and two others as administrators to supervise the high officers and protect the king’s interests.
3
Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other administrators and high officers. Because of Daniel’s great ability, the king made plans to place him over the entire empire.
4
Then the other administrators and high officers began searching for some fault in the way Daniel was handling government affairs, but they couldn’t find anything to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible, and completely trustworthy.
5
So they concluded, 'Our only chance of finding grounds for accusing Daniel will be in connection with the rules of his religion.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
1
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom 120 satraps, to be throughout the whole kingdom;
2
and over them three high officials, of whom Daniel was one, to whom these satraps should give account, so that the king might suffer no loss.
3
Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other high officials and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
4
Then the high officials and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom, but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him.
5
Then these men said, "We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God."
New International Version
Chapter 6
1
It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom,
2
with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The satraps were made accountable to them so that the king might not suffer loss.
3
Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
4
At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent.
5
Finally these men said, "We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God."
New King James Version
Chapter 6
1
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred and twenty satraps, to be over the whole kingdom;
2
and over these, three governors, of whom Daniel
was
one, that the satraps might give account to them, so that the king would suffer no loss.
3
Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit
was
in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm.
4
So the governors and satraps sought to find
some
charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he
was
faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him.
5
Then these men said, “We shall not find any charge against this Daniel unless we find
it
against him concerning the law of his God.”
