And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about sixty and two years old.

It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty princes, who should be over the whole kingdom;

Then these presidents and princes assembled to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live for ever.

Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

Then king Darius wrote to all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you.

So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;

Also I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
