So he ordered that the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and Chaldeans be summoned to interpret the dream for him. When they came and presented themselves to the king, (Daniel 2, 2)
The Chaldeans answered the king (Aramaic): "O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream and we will give its meaning." (Daniel 2, 4)
The king answered the Chaldeans, "This is what I have decided: unless you tell me the dream and its meaning, you shall be cut to pieces and your houses destroyed. (Daniel 2, 5)
Again they answered, "Let the king tell his servants the dream and we will give its meaning." (Daniel 2, 7)
But the king replied: "I know for certain that you are bargaining for time, since you know what I have decided. (Daniel 2, 8)
The Chaldeans answered the king: "There is not a man on earth who can do what you ask, O king; never has any king, however great and mighty, asked such a thing of any magician, enchanter, or Chaldean. (Daniel 2, 10)

"O officer of the king," he asked, "what is the reason for this harsh order from the king?" When Arioch told him, (Daniel 2, 15)
Daniel went and asked for time from the king, that he might give him the interpretation. (Daniel 2, 16)
