61 It hath been good before Darius, and he hath established over the kingdom satraps—a hundred and twenty—that they may be throughout the whole kingdom, 2 and higher than they three presidents, of whom Daniel 'is' first, that these satraps may give to them an account, and the king have no loss. 3 Then this Daniel hath been overseer over the presidents and satraps, because that an excellent spirit 'is' in him, and the king hath thought to establish him over the whole kingdom.

Commentary on Daniel 6:1-5
(Read Daniel 6:1-5)
We notice to the glory of God, that though Daniel was now very old, yet he was able for business, and had continued faithful to his religion. It is for the glory of God, when those who profess religion, conduct themselves so that their most watchful enemies may find no occasion for blaming them, save only in the matters of their God, in which they walk according to their consciences.
