He made him ruler of all the countries of Babylon, and lord of all the nobles, that were at Babylon. 49 Now Daniel intreated the king for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, so that he made them rulers over all the offices in the land of Babylon: But Daniel himself remained still in the court by the king.
