Daniel 2:13

Because of His Position Daniel Is Involved In What Is Happening. He Seeks God's Help.

‘So the decree went out, and all the wise men were to be slain. And they sought Daniel and his companions that they might be slain.'

A decree was issued to his officers that all the wise men throughout Babylon were to be slain. Whether many had been able to escape the king's presence we do not know. They would no doubt flee for their lives while the decree was being promulgated, and the soldiers called. But certainly some wise men must have died. And Daniel and his companions would not escape, for while they had not been seen as qualified to go before the king as ‘wise men', they were closely enough connected to them to be counted as within the ambit of the king's decree.
