Daniel 2:13-15

International Children’s Bible

¹³ So King Nebuchadnezzar’s order was announced. All the wise men were to be put to death. Men were sent to look for Daniel and his friends to kill them.

¹⁴ Arioch was the commander of the king’s guards. He was going to put to death the wise men of Babylon. But Daniel spoke to him with wisdom and skill. ¹⁵ Daniel asked, “Why did the king order such a terrible punishment?” Then Arioch explained everything to Daniel.
