Verse 2 is found in chapter 6 of Daniel. Darius organizes the administration through governors and supervisors, and Daniel stands out because of his excellence. His rivals seek an administrative accusation, but they find no corruption or negligence. This characterization is important because the later conflict does not arise from a moral or political failure by Daniel. The text presents his public integrity as the reason his adversaries must seek an exclusively religious motive.
