Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 1. - Darius the king made a decree. Rather, "gave an order" (Vulg., praecepit). A "decree" would not be necessary. And search was made in the house of the rolls. Literally, "in the house of the books," i.e. in the royal library, or record chamber. Where the treasures were laid up. The same repository was, apparently, used for documents of value and for the precious metals. An underground apartment is perhaps indicated by the word translated "laid up," which means "made to descend."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(1) Made a decree.--Rather, gave an order.Were laid up.--In the original, laid down, in a chamber for the storing of documents and other treasures.
