Daniel 2:25 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 2:25

Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste
As knowing how impatient the king was to have his dream, and the interpretation of it, told him; and how pleasing this would be to him, and be a means of ingratiating and establishing him in his affections, as well as for the sake of saving the lives of the wise men: and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah:
as if he had made it his business to inquire after a man capable of answering the king's demands; whereas he sought after Daniel at first, not for this purpose, but to destroy him; and now Daniel made his application to him for introduction to the king, and was not looked after by Arioch; but he here did as courtiers do, make the most of everything to their own advantage, to insinuate themselves into the favour of princes: it looks by this as if Arioch did not know of Daniel's having been with the king before, and of the promise he had made him; that granting him time, he would satisfy him in the matter requested, which he was now ready to do, as he had told Arioch; and therefore he adds, that will make known unto the king the interpretation;
that is, of his dream.

Daniel 2:25 In-Context

23 O Dieu de mes pères! je te célèbre et je te loue de ce que tu m'as donné sagesse et force, et de ce que tu m'as fait connaître maintenant ce que nous t'avons demandé; car tu nous as révélé l'affaire du roi.
24 C'est pourquoi Daniel alla vers Arioc, à qui le roi avait ordonné de faire périr tous les sages de Babylone; il alla et lui parla ainsi: Ne fais pas périr tous les sages de Babylone. Introduis-moi auprès du roi, et je donnerai au roi l'interprétation.
25 Alors Arioc introduisit promptement Daniel auprès du roi, et lui parla ainsi: J'ai trouvé parmi les captifs de Juda un homme qui donnera au roi l'interprétation.
26 Le roi prit la parole et dit à Daniel, qu'on appelait Beltshatsar: Es-tu capable de me faire connaître le songe que j'ai eu et son interprétation?
27 Daniel répondit en présence du roi et dit: Le secret que le roi demande, ni les sages, ni les astrologues, ni les magiciens, ni les devins ne sont capables de le découvrir au roi.
