Daniel 4:6
"Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Therefore made I a decree,.... Published a proclamation; signifying it was his mind and will to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before him; all together, supposing that

one or other of them, or by consulting together, would be able to explain things to his satisfaction, and make him more easy: that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream; for though they could not tell the interpretation of his former dream, because he could not relate to them the dream itself; which, if he could, they promised him the interpretation; but now he could remember it, and therefore might expect they would make known the interpretation of it to him.
