Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 6:14

_ _ displeased with himself — for having suffered himself to be entrapped into such a hasty decree (Proverbs 29:20). On the one hand he was pressed by the immutability of the law, fear that the princes might conspire against him, and desire to consult for his own reputation, not to seem fickle; on the other, by regard for Daniel, and a desire to save him from the effects of his own rash decree.

_ _ till ... going down of ... sun — The king took this time to deliberate, thinking that after sunset Daniel would be spared till morning, and that meanwhile some way of escape would turn up. But (Daniel 6:15) the conspirators “assembled tumultuously” (literally) to prevent this delay in the execution, lest the king should meantime change his decree.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Daniel 6:11-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Daniel 6:14

Displeased with himself — For having made that foolish decree. To deliver him — To find out some way of delivering him.
