This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
There are four things here very strange and wonderful.
1. That Arioch, instead of executing the king’s decree speedily, should make this stop.
2. That he should dare to see the king’s face when he was so wroth, instead of doing what his commission tied him to.
3. That Daniel should have the boldness to go in to the king when he was in his fury.
4. That he should desire time and obtain it of the king, who had denied the same thing to the wise men. To which we answer, The signal hand of God was in all this.
2. In particular, Daniel was in great esteem with the king above all the wise men, Dan_1:19,20 3.
3. He gave both Arioch and the king hopes he would show and interpret the king’s dream.
