Exegesis
The preposition plus suffix li {לִי | lī} “to me” marks the king as the one left uninformed. In English, finite simple past forms (“came in,” “declared,” “were not making known”) appropriately convey the narrative flow, while preserving the repeated emphasis on “interpretation” maintains the thematic focus on the limits of human wisdom in grasping divine revelation.
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.
