Chapter 44
1 And Daniel made a request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the works of the province of Babylon.
2 And this too, which was done by Daniel, is worthy of faith and praise. For since they had joined Daniel in prayer to God, that the vision might be revealed to him, Daniel himself, having received rank and honor from the king, remembered them, and set before the king the work that had been done by them, so that they too might be deemed worthy of some honor, as fellow initiates and God-fearing men.
3 For having asked for the heavenly things from the Lord, they obtained the earthly things as well from the king.
