John Gill Commentary Daniel 2:7

"They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation." — Daniel 2:7 (ASV)

They answered again, and said
Or, a "second" ^F5 time; repeating the same words, having nothing more to say: let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the
interpretation thereof ;
the first part was but right and reasonable, though the latter was mere boasting and arrogancy.
