14 Then Daniel replied with discretion and discernment to (B)Arioch, the captain of the king’s [b]bodyguard, who had gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon; 15 he answered and said to Arioch, a powerful [c]official for the king, “For what reason is the law from the king so [d]urgent?” Then Arioch made the matter known to Daniel.
