Daniel 5:16

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I have heard of thee,.... That is, by the queen, which he repeats for the sake of observing what she had said of him, and which gave him encouragement to send for him:

that thou canst make interpretations; of dreams, and of things hard to be understood:

and dissolve doubts; untie knots, solve difficulties, and answer hard and intricate questions:

now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof; that which is upon the wall before thee, and which the wise men of Babylon could not:

thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom; the same reward he had proposed to the astrologers and soothsayers, Daniel 5:7 but what was no temptation or motive to Daniel, as appears by what follows:

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And I have heard of thee ... - Daniel 5:11.

Canst make interpretations - Margin, “interpret.” Chaldee, “interpret interpretations.” The meaning is, that he was skilled in interpreting or explaining dreams, omens, etc.

And dissolve doubts - See the notes at Daniel 5:12.

Now, if thou canst read the writing ... thou shalt be clothed with scarlet ... - This was the reward which at the first he had promised to any one that was able to do it, and as all others had failed, he was willing that it should be offered to a Jew.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 16. Dissolve doubts — Untie knots - unbind what is bound. An expression used in the east to signify a judge of eminent wisdom and skill.
