What does Daniel 6:4 mean?
Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion
against
Daniel concerning the kingdom
Concerning the management of the affairs of the kingdom, he being
prime minister of state; the presidents and princes joined
together in this inquiry; the princes, because Daniel was so
strict and exact in looking into their accounts, that no
fraudulent measures were taken to cheat the king of his revenue;
and the presidents, because he was preferred above them:
but they could find none occasion nor fault;
or "corruption" F1, that he had been guilty of any
mis-administration, or any corrupt practices: forasmuch as
he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault
found in him;
no mistake in his accounts; no blunder in his management of
things; nothing done amiss, neither wilfully, nor through
ignorance, negligence, or inadvertence; so faithful and upright,
so prudent and discreet, so exact and careful, that the most
watchful observers of him, and these envious, and his most
implacable enemies, could find no fault in him, or anything, or
the colour of it, to ground an accusation upon.
F1 (htyxv) "corruptela", Pagninus, Montanus, Cocceius, Michaelis; "corruptionem", Gejerus.
