Then Arioch hurried to bring in Daniel before the king and thus he spoke to him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah who will make the meaning known to the king.
These are the sons of the province who went up of the exiles, of the captivity, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had removed. And they returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each man to his city.
Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, Are you that Daniel who is of the sons of the exiled of Judah, whom my father the king brought out of Judah?
Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel, who is of the sons of the exiled of Judah, has not set attention on you, O king, or the decree that you have signed, but he makes his prayer three times in the day.
