Commentary for Daniel 6:15

when...heard the thing [as translated,] when he heard the thing.

he became very displeased It was very bad in his eyes because he loved Daniel, and his death would be painful to him.

and he gave Daniel a reprieve to save him He gave Daniel a reprieve to push off the matter to save him, and he said to them, “I don’t believe you.”

a reprieve Aram. בָּל. I do not know of any word like it, but its context shows its meaning.

and until sunset and until sunset he tried to save him, but when the time of his prayer arrived, he prayed his prayer, and the king had no longer had a pretext to save him.
