Daniel 2:14 CPDV

¹²  When he heard this, the king commanded, in fury and in great wrath, that all the wise men of Babylon should be destroyed.

¹³  And when the decree had gone forth, the wise men were put to death; and Daniel and his companions were sought, to be destroyed.

¹⁴  Then Daniel inquired, about the law and the sentence, of Arioch, the general of the king's army, who had gone forth to execute the wise men of Babylon.

¹⁵  And he asked him, who had received the orders of the king, for what reason such a cruel sentence had gone forth from the face of the king. And so, when Arioch had revealed the matter to Daniel,

¹⁶  Daniel went in and asked of the king that he would grant him time to reveal the solution to the king.
