* It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes , which should be over the whole kingdom ; * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king , and said thus unto him , King Darius , live for ever . * All the presidents of the kingdom , the governors , and the princes , the counsellors , and the captains , have consulted together to establish a royal statute , and to make a firm decree , that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days , save of thee , O king , he shall be cast into the den of lions .
