Chedorlaomer king of Elam, * and Tidal king of Goiim, that these made war.”.
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: Don't destroy the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.
