Daniel 2:23 records the prayer that led to the revelation — now in 2:36 Daniel begins to tell the interpretation, showing continuity.

Daniel 2:24 sets up the interpretation by going to Arioch — then 2:36 starts the actual explanation to the king.

Genesis 40:8 has Joseph asserting that God gives interpretations — Daniel 2:36 shows Daniel about to do the same, a classic parallel of God's servants in foreign courts.
