Soon after Daniel and his companions entered the service of the king of Babylon, events occurred that revealed to an idolatrous nation the power and faithfulness of the God of Israel. Nebuchadnezzar had a remarkable dream, by which “his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.”Daniel 2:1. But although the king’s mind was deeply impressed, he found it impossible, when he awoke, to recall the particulars.

In his perplexity, Nebuchadnezzar assembled his wise men—“the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers”(Daniel 2:2)—and besought their help. “I have dreamed a dream,” he said, “and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.”Daniel 2:3. With this statement of his perplexity he requested them to reveal to him that which would bring relief to his mind.

To this the wise men responded, “O king, live forever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”Daniel 2:4.
