Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch - because of having received the divine communication.
Bring me in before the king - implying that he had not previously been in person before the king (note, Daniel 2:16).
