Daniele 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.

25 Allora Arioc menò in tutta fretta Daniele davanti al re, e gli parlò così: "Io ha trovato, fra i Giudei che sono in cattività, un uomo che darà al re l’interpretazione".

26 Il re prese a dire a Daniele, che si chiamava Beltsatsar: "Sei tu capace di farmi conoscere il sogno che ho fatto e la sua interpretazione?"

27 Daniele rispose in presenza del re, e disse: "Il segreto che il re domanda, né savi, né incantatori, né magi, né astrologi possono svelarlo al re;
