with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The satraps were made accountable to them so that the king might not suffer loss.

He placed three leaders over them. One of the leaders was Daniel. The royal rulers were made accountable to the three leaders. Then the king wouldn’t lose any of his wealth.

and over them three high officials, of whom Daniel was one, to whom these satraps should give account, so that the king might suffer no loss.

The king also chose Daniel and two others as administrators to supervise the high officers and protect the king’s interests.

and over them three administrators, including Daniel. These satraps would be accountable to them so that the king would not be defrauded.

and over them, three commissioners( of whom Daniel was one), so that these satraps would be accountable to them, and that the king would not suffer loss.

and over these, three governors, of whom Daniel was one, that the satraps might give account to them, so that the king would suffer no loss.

Then Belshazzar gave an order, and they clothed Daniel in purple, placed a gold chain around his neck, and issued a proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

However, I have heard about you that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Therefore, if you can read this inscription and give me its interpretation, you will be clothed in purple, have a gold chain around your neck, and have the third highest position in the kingdom.”

See that you not neglect this matter. Otherwise, the damage will increase and the royal interests will suffer.

Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many generous gifts. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.At Daniel’s request, the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to manage the province of Babylon. But Daniel remained at the king’s court.

For my people and I have been sold out to destruction, death, and extermination. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept silent. Indeed, the trouble wouldn’t be worth burdening the king.”

For this reason, the kingdom of heaven can be compared to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.

In this regard, it is expected of managers that each one of them be found faithful.

The one who sends a message by a fool’s hand cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.

“ Therefore, this is the declaration of the Lord, the God of Israel:‘ Although I said your family and your ancestral house would walk before Me forever, the Lord now says,“ No longer!” I will honor those who honor Me, but those who despise Me will be disgraced.

Long life is in her right hand; in her left, riches and honor.

He called 10 of his slaves, gave them 10 minas, and told them,‘ Engage in business until I come back.’“ But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying,‘ We don’t want this man to rule over us!’“ At his return, having received the authority to be king, he summoned those slaves he had given the money to, so he could find out how much they had made in business.The first came forward and said,‘ Master, your mina has earned 10 more minas.’“‘ Well done, good slave!’ he told him.‘ Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, have authority over 10 towns.’“ The second came and said,‘ Master, your mina has made five minas.’“ So he said to him,‘ You will be over five towns.’“ And another came and said,‘ Master, here is your mina. I have kept it hidden away in a clothbecause I was afraid of you, for you’re a tough man: you collect what you didn’t deposit and reap what you didn’t sow.’“ He told him,‘ I will judge you by what you have said, you evil slave! If you knew I was a tough man, collecting what I didn’t deposit and reaping what I didn’t sow,why didn’t you put my money in the bank? And when I returned, I would have collected it with interest!’So he said to those standing there,‘ Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has 10 minas.’“ But they said to him,‘ Master, he has 10 minas.’“‘ I tell you, that to everyone who has, more will be given; and from the one who does not have, even what he does have will be taken away.But bring here these enemies of mine, who did not want me to rule over them, and slaughter them in my presence.’”

So he called the manager in and asked,‘ What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you can no longer be my manager.’
