Daniel Approaches Nebuchadnezzar And Reveals To Him His Dream (Daniel 2:24-30).
‘Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said thus to him. “Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.” '
So the young teenage Daniel approached the mighty Arioch, captain of Nebuchadnezzar's own guard, to whom the responsibility for execution of the wise men had been committed, and pleaded with him on behalf of the wise men. Quietly but firmly he promised that he would fulfil the king's request so that there was no further need for them to be slain. Let Arioch take him into the presence of the king and all would be revealed.
