Daniel 6:7

OLD TESTAMENTNEW TESTAMENT

All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the satraps, the counselors, and the advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, except from you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

And so it was the fact that the king was planning to appoint Daniel as chief ruler even over the two princes who had been associated with him that gave rise to the envy and intrigue. (St. Jerome)
