Dan. 6:1      Dan. 6:3

Daniel 6:2

He placed three ministers above them, one of whom was Daniel. [The ministers were probably responsible for 40 satraps each.] The satraps were to report to these three ministers so that the king would not suffer any loss.
[The Medo-Persian Empire is expanding, and the king appoints leaders and a new administration to maintain recently conquered areas and ensure that they pay taxes. The word "loss" is used in Ezra 4:13 to refer to taxes, customs duties, and road tolls. Corruption at all levels was not uncommon. Customs officials and administrators often charged higher fees than stipulated and pocketed the surplus.]
