In Daniel 1:1, King Nebuchadnezzar lays siege and takes Jerusalem. After returning to Babylon with captives, Nebuchadnezzar orders his chief steward of the eunuchs' to gather certain of the children of Israel from the kings seed and of its princes (Daniel 1:3). These children were to have no blemish, but well favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, who would then be taught the Chaldean language over the course of three years, at which time they would then be brought before the king (Daniel 1:4-5). At the end of three years four Israeli children are brought in before king Nebuchadnezzar. The king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king (Daniel 1:19).
In the next chapter, Nebuchadnezzar in his second year of reign dreamed dreams (Daniel 2:1). Daniel with the revealing from the Lord then provides the king with the details of the dream that left him, and Nebuchadnezzar then falls down in front of Daniel and gives him gifts and office in his kingdom (Daniel 2:19-49).
Here now is the dilemma; How does Nebuchadnezzar in his second year of reign meet with Daniel whom he met after Daniel's three year internship, along with Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah?
