King James Bible
"Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation."
Arioch, the chief executioner who earlier received Daniel's request for time, now urgently escorts him to Nebuchadnezzar. The haste reflects both the king's violent decree against the wise men and the extraordinary nature of Daniel's claim to reveal the impossible dream. Arioch takes credit for 'finding' Daniel, though Daniel had approached him voluntarily. The designation 'captives of Judah' emphasizes Daniel's outsider status—a young exile from a conquered nation about to shame Babylon's established wise men. The confident promise focuses solely on the interpretation, not mentioning that Daniel will also reveal the dream itself. This understated introduction heightens the coming dramatic reversal when Daniel accomplishes what all Babylon's magicians could not.
