但以理書 6:14 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 6:14

Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased
with himself
Or "at it" F5; or "with him"; with Daniel, not so much for what he had done, but that he had not done it with more caution, or more privately, that it might not have been known: or rather, as we render it, "with himself", that he should so rashly sign the decree, without considering the consequences of it; for he now found that he was circumvented by his princes, and that their design was not his honour and glory, but the destruction of Daniel: or the sense in general is, that what he heard was very disagreeable, afflictive, and distressing to him: and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him;
he resolved, if possible, to do it; he applied his mind to it; he turned his thoughts wholly that way, and contrived all ways and means to effect it: R. Mattathiah, in Saadiah, interprets the phrase of his offering money as a ransom for his life: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to save him;
from the will of the princes, and from the jaws of the lions: very probably it was early in the morning these princes found Daniel at prayer, who went immediately to the king with their accusation; so that he was all day labouring with all his might and main to find out ways and means to save his darling favourite; he studied to put such a sense upon his decree, that it might not reach Daniel's case; he strove to make the princes easy, and to persuade them to drop the affair, and not insist on the execution of the decree.

但以理書 6:14 In-Context

12 他 們 便 進 到 王 前 , 提 王 的 禁 令 , 說 : 王 啊 , 三 十 日 內 不 拘 何 人 , 若 在 王 以 外 , 或 向 神 或 向 人 求 甚 麼 , 必 被 扔 在 獅 子 坑 中 。 王 不 是 在 這 禁 令 上 蓋 了 玉 璽 麼 ? 王 回 答 說 : 實 有 這 事 , 照 瑪 代 和 波 斯 人 的 例 是 不 可 更 改 的 。
13 他 們 對 王 說 : 王 啊 , 那 被 擄 之 猶 大 人 中 的 但 以 理 不 理 你 , 也 不 遵 你 蓋 了 玉 璽 的 禁 令 , 他 竟 一 日 三 次 祈 禱 。
14 王 聽 見 這 話 , 就 甚 愁 煩 , 一 心 要 救 但 以 理 , 籌 劃 解 救 他 , 直 到 日 落 的 時 候 。
15 那 些 人 就 紛 紛 聚 集 來 見 王 , 說 : 王 啊 , 當 知 道 瑪 代 人 和 波 斯 人 有 例 , 凡 王 所 立 的 禁 令 和 律 例 都 不 可 更 改 。
16 王 下 令 , 人 就 把 但 以 理 帶 來 , 扔 在 獅 子 坑 中 。 王 對 但 以 理 說 : 你 所 常 事 奉 的 神 , 他 必 救 你 。
