Daniel 6:1-7

It pleased
<06925> <08232> (8754)
Darius
<01868>
to set
<06966> (8684)
over
<05922>
the kingdom
<04437>
an hundred
<03969>
and twenty
<06243>
princes
<0324>_,
which should be
<01934> (8748)
over the whole
<03606>
kingdom
<04437>_;
And over
<05924>
these
<04481>
three
<08532>
presidents
<05632>_;
of whom
<04481>
Daniel
<01841>
[was] first
<02298>_:
that
<0459>
the princes
<0324>
might
<01934> (8748)
give
<03052> (8751)
accounts
<02941>
unto them, and the king
<04430>
should have
<01934> (8748)
no
<03809>
damage
<05142> (8752)_.
Then
<0116>
this
<01836>
Daniel
<01841>
was
<01934> (8754)
preferred
<05330> (8723)
above
<05922>
the presidents
<05632>
and princes
<0324>_,
because
<03606> <06903>
an excellent
<03493>
spirit
<07308>
[was] in him; and the king
<04430>
thought
<06246> (8754)
to set
<06966> (8682)
him over
<05922>
the whole
<03606>
realm
<04437>_.
Then
<0116>
the presidents
<05632>
and princes
<0324>
sought
<01934> (8754) <01156> (8750)
to find
<07912> (8682)
occasion
<05931>
against Daniel
<01841>
concerning
<06655>
the kingdom
<04437>_;
but
<03606>
they could
<03202> (8750)
find
<07912> (8682)
none
<03809>
occasion
<05931>
nor
<03809>
fault
<07844> (8752)_;
forasmuch
<06903>
as he [was] faithful
<0540> (8683)_,
neither
<03809>
was there any
<03606>
error
<07960>
or fault
<07844> (8752)
found
<07912> (8728)
in him
<05922>_.
Then
<0116>
said
<0560> (8750)
these
<0479>
men
<01400>_,
We shall not
<03809>
find
<07912> (8684)
any
<03606>
occasion
<05931>
against
<05922>
this
<01836>
Daniel
<01841>_,
except
<03861>
we find
<07912> (8681)
[it] against him concerning the law
<01882>
of his God
<0426>_.
Then
<0116>
these
<0459>
presidents
<05632>
and princes
<0324>
assembled together
<07284> (8684)
to the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
thus
<03652>
unto him
<05922>_,
King
<04430>
Darius
<01868>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_.
{assembled...: or, came tumultuously}
All
<03606>
the presidents
<05632>
of the kingdom
<04437>_,
the governors
<05460>_,
and the princes
<0324>_,
the counsellors
<01907>_,
and the captains
<06347>_,
have consulted together
<03272> (8724)
to establish
<06966> (8742)
a royal
<04430>
statute
<07010>_,
and to make a firm
<08631> (8742)
decree
<0633>_,
that whosoever shall ask
<01156> (8748)
a petition
<01159>
of
<04481>
any
<03606>
God
<0426>
or man
<0606>
for
<05705>
thirty
<08533>
days
<03118>_,
save
<03861>
of thee
<04481>_,
O king
<04430>_,
he shall be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_.
{decree: or, interdict}
