Daniel 2:13-15

Darby Translation

¹³ And the decree went forth that the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to slay them.

¹⁴ Then Daniel answered with counsel and prudence to Arioch the chief of the king's bodyguard, who had gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:

¹⁵ he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so rigorous from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
