Daniel 2:13-15

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ And when sentence was given, the wise men were killed. And they sought Daniel and his friends, to be put to death.

¹⁴ Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch, the king’s chief steward, who had gone forth to put to death the wise men of Babel.

¹⁵ “Yea,” he answered and said to Arioch, the king’s captain, “Why is the sentence so severe from the king?” Then Arioch explained it to Daniel.
