Gill's Notes on the Bible
In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes,.... This is the same with Darius the Median, that took the kingdom after the death of Belshazzar; so called, to distinguish him from Darius the Persian; and yet Porphyry has the gall to assert that this was Darius the Persian, under whom the temple was built, that Daniel might appear to live later than he did: Ahasuerus, whose son he was, is not he that was the husband of Esther, and was many years later than this; but the same with Astyages king of the Medes, and who is called Ahasuerus, in the Apocrypha:
"But before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus: and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve.'' (Tobit 14:15)
the father of Cyaxares, the same with this Darius, who was uncle to Cyrus that conquered Babylon, and made him king of it, and of the whole empire; for this was not the first year of his reign over Media, where he had reigned many years before, but over Chaldea, as follows:
which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; by Cyrus his nephew; who having taken Babylon, and settled his affairs, undertook a journey to Persia, and made Media in his way; where he met with his uncle Cyaxares, the same with this Darius, and delivered the kingdom of Babylon to him, and married his daughter, with whom he had for her dowry the kingdom of Media, as Xenophon y relates. Now it was in the first year of his reign over the Chaldeans that Daniel had the following vision of the seventy weeks; which, according to Bishop Usher z and Mr. Whiston a, was in the year of the world 3467 A.M. and 537 B.C. Dean Prideaux b places it in the year 538; and Mr. Bedford c in the year 536.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In the first year of Darius - See the notes at Daniel 5:31, and Introuction to Daniel 6:0 Section II. The king here referred to under this name was Cyaxares II, who lived between Astyages and Cyrus, and in whom was the title of king. He was the immediate successor of Belshazzar, and was the predecessor of Cyrus, and was the first of the foreign princes that reigned over Babylon. On the reasons why he is called in Daniel Darius, and not Cyaxares, see the Introduction to Daniel 6:0, Section II. Of course, as he preceded Cyrus, who gave the order to rebuild the temple Ezra 1:1, this occurred before the close of the seventy years of the captivity.
The son of Ahasuerus - Or the son of Astyages. See Introduction to Daniel 6:0 Section II. It was no unusual thing for the kings of the East to have several names, and one writer might refer to them under one name, and another under another.
Of the seed of the Medes - Of the race of the Medes. See as above.
Which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans - By conquest. He succeeded Belshazzar, and was the immediate predecessor of Cyrus. Cyaxares II ascended the throne of Media, according to the common chronology, 561 b.c. Babylon was taken by Cyrus, acting under the authority of Cyaxares, 538 b.c., and, of course, the reign of Cyaxares, or Darius, over Babylon commenced at that point, and that would be reckoned as the “first year” of his reign. He died 536 b.c., and Cyrus succeeded him; and as the order to rebuild the temple was in the first year of Cyrus, the time referred to in this chapter, when Daniel represents himself as meditating on the close of the captivity, and offering this prayer, cannot long have preceded that order. He had ascertained that the period of the captivity was near its close, and he naturally inquired in what way the restoration of the Jews to their own land was to be effected, and by what means the temple was to be rebuilt.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER IX
Daniel, understanding from the prophecies of Jeremiah that the
seventy years' captivity was now terminating, pours out his
soul in fervent prayer to God, and earnestly supplicates pardon
and restoration for his captive people, 1-12.
When thus supplicating God in behalf of Israel, the angel
Gabriel is sent to inform him of the seventy prophetic weeks,
or four hundred and ninety natural years, which should elapse
from the date of the edict to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple
to the death of the Messiah, 20-27;
a prophecy most exactly fulfilled by the event, according to
the computation of the best chronologers. Dean Prideaux states
the commencement of these seventy prophetic weeks to have been
in the month Nisan, in the year of the Julian period 4256,
which corresponds with A.M. 3546, B.C. 458, according to the
Usherian account. How awfully are the Jews blinded, who, in
contradiction to so clear a prophecy, still expect the Messiah
who was cut off, and, after suffering, is entered into his
glory!
