Exegesis
The prepositional phrase qedamehon {קְדָמֵיהוֹן | qədāmêhôn} “before them” locates the communication in a formal audience setting: the king stands in front of his assembled experts and recounts the dream.
In context — Daniel 4:7
Then my magicians , my enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners came in, and I declared the dream before them, but they were not making its interpretation known to me.
