Daniel 6:2 in Context — Daniel 6
1 Darius trouva bon d’établir sur le royaume cent vingt satrapes, qui devaient être dans tout le royaume.
2 Il mit à leur tête trois chefs, au nombre desquels était Daniel, afin que ces satrapes leur rendissent compte, et que le roi ne souffrît aucun dommage.
3 Daniel surpassait les chefs et les satrapes, parce qu’il y avait en lui un esprit supérieur; et le roi pensait à l’établir sur tout le royaume.
4 Alors les chefs et les satrapes cherchèrent une occasion d’accuser Daniel en ce qui concernait les affaires du royaume. Mais ils ne purent trouver aucune occasion, ni aucune chose à reprendre, parce qu’il était fidèle, et qu’on n’apercevait chez lui ni faute, ni rien de mauvais.
