 [15 ](/kjv/daniel/2/15) He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why *is* the decree *so* hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/daniel/2/16) Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/daniel/2/17) Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
