아리옥 (왕의 시위대 장관)
Named at Daniel 2:14 as “Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon”, to whom Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence; at 2:15 he answers Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree so urgent from the king?”, and Arioch makes the thing known to Daniel. At 2:24 Daniel goes in to Arioch, “whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon”, and says to him, “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.” At 2:25 Arioch brings in Daniel before the king in haste, and says, “I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah who will make known to the king the interpretation.” The Korean Revised Version reads 왕의 시위대 장관 아리옥 (Arioch the captain of the king’s guard) at 2:14 and 왕의 장관 아리옥 (Arioch the king’s captain) at 2:15.

24Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said this to him: “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.”
25Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said this to him: “I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah who will make known to the king the interpretation.”
26The king answered Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?”
27Daniel answered before the king, and said, “The secret which the king has demanded can’t be shown to the king by wise men, enchanters, magicians, or soothsayers;
28but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head on your bed are these:
29“As for you, O king, your thoughts came on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what will happen.
30But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.
