1Now it pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom,
2and over them three administrators, including Daniel, to whom these satraps were accountable so that the king would not suffer loss.
3Soon, by his extraordinary spirit, Daniel distinguished himself among the administrators and satraps. So the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
4Thus the administrators and satraps sought a charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no charge or corruption, because he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was found in him.
— Daniel 6:1-4
