Misapplied Scripture

Dan 2:1-3

And in the second year of the kingship of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit began to feel agitated, and his very sleep was made to be something beyond him. 2 So the king said to call the magic-practicing priests and the conjurers and the sorcerers and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. And they proceeded to come in and to stand before the king. 3 Then the king said to them: There is a dream that I have dreamed, and my spirit is agitated to know the dream. . .

Key points

The 2nd year of Nebuchandezzar

Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar's dream in this year. Therefore, Daniel must have gone into exile before this 2nd year. Likely in the 1st year of Nebuchadnezzar which is the 4th year of Jehoiakim.
