Key: This scripture explains why Daniel in the bible was considered a man of excellent spirit. Dan 6:3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. That is, Daniel was an even-tempered man and he is slow to speak. Be an excellent man; learn to hold your peace, learn to hold your words.
