“There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;”
Because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation. The queen's detailed commendation of Daniel emphasizes his proven capabilities: excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, ability to interpret dreams and explain riddles and solve problems. These specific abilities parallel the gifts mentioned in 1:17 and have been validated through the interpretations of Nebuchadnezzar's dreams. The queen's assertion that Daniel will give the interpretation expresses confidence in his ability to succeed where all others failed. Her recommendation carries the weight of established reputation and proven track record.
