Daniel 6:1-3, 5, 10

Daniel 6:1-3 CSB

Darius decided  to appoint 120 satraps over the kingdom, stationed throughout the realm, and over them three administrators, including Daniel.  These satraps would be accountable to them so that the king would not be defrauded.  Daniel  distinguished himself above the administrators and satraps because he had an extraordinary spirit,  so the king planned to set him over the whole realm.

Daniel 6:5 CSB

Then these men said, “We will never find any charge against this Daniel unless we find something against him concerning the law of his God.”

Daniel 6:10 CSB

When Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went into his house. The windows in its upstairs room opened toward Jerusalem,  and three times a day he got down on his knees, prayed, and gave thanks to his God,  just as he had done before.
