What is the meaning of "v'Salti v'Malchusa Yishlat"?
1.
Rashi: He will rule over a third of my kingdom.
2.
Malbim: Some say, he will be third to the king. This shows that he understood that it is a great matter, and very hard to explain - the hidden writing of an angel. This is why he did not threaten to kill them if they cannot read and explain it, like Nebuchadnetzar decreed.
