Commentary on Daniel 6:16
The king's hopeful word to Daniel shows both desperation and dawning faith: 'Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.' This statement combines acknowledgment of Daniel's faithful service ('whom thou servest continually') with hope in divine deliverance. Darius doesn't say 'may deliver' but 'will deliver'—expressing either politeness to a doomed man or genuine faith that Daniel's God is powerful. The phrase 'continually' recognizes Daniel's consistent devotion. This contrasts with the king's own failure—he served pride and self-interest by signing the foolish decree.
