NETBible

It seemed like a good idea to Darius¹ to appoint over the kingdom 120 satraps² who would be in charge of the entire kingdom.

NET Notes

¹tn Aram “It was pleasing before Darius.”

²tn This is a technical term for an official placed in charge of a region of the empire (cf. KJV, NLT “prince[s]”; NCV, TEV “governors”). These satraps were answerable to a supervisor, who in turn answered to Darius.
