Daniel 6:12

Alkitab Terjemahan Baru

(6-13) Kemudian mereka menghadap raja dan menanyakan kepadanya tentang larangan raja: "Bukankah tuanku mengeluarkan suatu larangan, supaya setiap orang yang dalam tiga puluh hari menyampaikan permohonan kepada salah satu dewa atau manusia kecuali kepada tuanku, ya raja, akan dilemparkan ke dalam gua singa?" Jawab raja: "Perkara ini telah pasti menurut undang-undang orang Media dan Persia, yang tidak dapat dicabut kembali."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then they came near,.... They went immediately from Daniel's house to the king's palace, and into the king's presence; which they could do, either by virtue of their offices, or being admitted by the proper officer in waiting:

and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; at first they said nothing about Daniel, but about the decree, to get it recognized, and afresh ratified and confirmed; lest, under some pretence or another, the king should change it:

hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any god or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? they do not say peremptorily that he had signed such a decree, but put the question to him, that they might have it affirmed by himself:

the king answered and said, the thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not; it is true that such a decree is made and signed, and it is an unalterable one; such as is every established and signed decree of the Medes and Persians: it is as if he had said, it is very true what you put me in mind of, and I will never recede from it, or nullify and make it void.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Then they came near - That is, they came near to the king. They had detected Daniel, as they expected and desired to do, in a palpable violation of the law, and they lost no time in apprising the king of it, and in reminding him of the law which he had established. Informers are not apt to lose time.

The king answered and said, The thing is true ... - It is undeniable, whatever may be the consequences. There is no reason to suppose that he as yet had any suspicion of their design in asking this question. It is not improbable that he apprehended there had been some violation of the law, but it does not appear that his suspicions rested on Daniel.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Daniel 6:12. Shall be cast into the den of lions — Either this was the royal menagerie, like that place in the Tower of London, where wild beasts are kept for the king's pleasure, and the public amusement; or they were kept for the purpose of devouring certain criminals, which the laws might consign to that kind of death. This is most likely, from the case before us.
