Contextual Overview

¹⁴ Arioch was the king's official in charge of putting the wise men to death. He was on his way to have it done, when Daniel very wisely went to him ¹⁵ and asked, "Why did the king give such cruel orders?" After Arioch explained what had happened, ¹⁶ Daniel rushed off and said to the king, "If you will just give me some time, I'll explain your dream." ¹⁷ Daniel returned home and told his three friends. ¹⁸ Then he said, "Pray that the God who rules from heaven will be merciful and explain this mystery, so that we and the others won't be put to death." ¹⁹ In a vision one night, Daniel was shown the dream and its meaning. Then he praised the God who rules from heaven: ²⁰ "Our God, your name will be praised forever and forever. You are all-powerful, and you know everything. ²¹ You control human events— you give rulers their power and take it away, and you are the source of wisdom and knowledge. ²² "You explain deep mysteries, because even the dark is light to you. ²³ You are the God who was worshiped by my ancestors. Now I thank you and praise you for making me wise and telling me the king's dream, together with its meaning."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Daniel went to his house,.... Which Sanctius thinks was in the king's palace; very probably it might be near it, somewhere in the city of Babylon; for that it should be twenty miles from that city, as Benjamin of Tudela relates o, is not likely; since Arioch's orders reached to none but the wise men of Babylon, and where he sought for and found Daniel; hither he went, to be alone, and to seek the Lord in secret:

and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions; who either dwelt in the same house with him, or not far off; whom he sent for and acquainted with all that had passed, both between the king and the wise men, and the consequence of that; and between him and the king, and what promise he had made, relying on his God and theirs.

o Itinerarium, p. 76.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Then Daniel went to his house - It is quite evident that he had obtained the object of his request, though this is not expressly mentioned. The king was undoubtedly, for the reasons above stated, willing that he should have a fair opportunity to try his skill in disclosing the mysterious secret.

And made the thing known to Hananiah ... - Made the whole matter known - the perplexity respecting the dream; the failure of the Chaldeans to interpret it; the decree; and his own petition to the king. They had a common interest in knowing it, as their lives were all endangered.
