Ex. 18:21‑22• 21Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
 22And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee. (Ex. 18:21‑22)

• If Belshazzar, therefore, typified the impiety that dared to lift itself up against the Lord of heaven, Darius sets forth the exaltation of man, and indeed, the substitution of man for God, as an object of worship. This is by no means altered by the fact that he was betrayed into taking this position, or that he himself was a man of an amiable character; {v.9} for it is still true that he signed the decree, {v.7} that whosoever should ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of himself, should be cast into the den of lions (Dan. 6:7). It is not what he was in himself, but what he did, that contains the prophetical instruction. (“Daniel 6” by E. Dennett)
