Daniel 2:6 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 2:6

But if ye show the dream, and the interpretation thereof
Which he was extremely intent upon to know; and therefore makes use of every way to obtain it, first by threatenings, to terrify, and next by promises, to allure: ye shall receive of me gifts, and rewards, and great honour;
gold, silver, jewels, rich apparel, houses, lands, and great promotion to some of the highest places of honour, trust, and profit, in the kingdom, as Daniel afterwards had: therefore show me the dream, and the interpretation thereof;
at once, directly, without any more ado; for the king was impatient of it.

Daniel 2:6 In-Context

4 Then spoke the Chaldeans to the king in Syriac, "O king, live for ever! Tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation."

5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, "The thing is gone from me. If ye will not make known unto me the dream with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

6 But if ye show the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and the interpretation thereof."

7 They answered again and said, "Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation of it."

8 The king answered and said, "I know with certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
