Daniel is brought in before the king, and the king says that if Daniel can read the writing and make known its interpretation, he shall be the third ruler in the kingdom

다니엘이 부름을 입어 왕의 앞에 나오고, 다니엘이 이 글을 읽고 해석하면 그로 세째 치리자를 삼으리라고 왕이 말함

Daniel 5:13–16: then Daniel is brought in before the king. The king says to Daniel, “Are you that Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah? I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you and that light, understanding, and excellent wisdom are found in you. Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing. But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations and dissolve doubts. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.” The Korean Revised Version says that Daniel was called and came before the king (부름을 입어 왕의 앞에 나오매) where WEB reads “was brought in”, and reads 우리 부왕 where WEB reads “the king my father” (5:13); neither edition names that king there.
