Daniel 2:13
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
So the decree went out that the wise men were to be executed, and men went to look for Daniel and his friends to execute them.
In context
11 What the king requests is so difficult that no one can tell it to him except the gods, whose dwelling is not with mortals.”
12 This response made the king so furious with anger that he gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
13 So the decree went out that the wise men were to be executed, and men went to look for Daniel and his friends to execute them.
14 When Arioch, the commander of the king’s guard, had gone out to execute the wise men of Babylon, Daniel replied with discretion and tact.
15 “Why is the decree from the king so harsh?” he asked. At this time Arioch explained the situation to Daniel.
