2:48Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.

6:1It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

6:2And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.

6:3Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
