The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Daniel 6:18-28

Daniel's Remarkable Deliverance v. 18. Then the king went to his palace and passed the night fasting, unable to sleep or eat for worry about the fate of Daniel; neither were instruments of music brought before him, rather, "neither were concubines brought to him"; and his sleep went from him, he was in genuine distress, decidedly ill at ease on account of the course into which he had been drawn. v. 19. Then the king arose very early in the morning, with the dawn, as soon as it became light,... read more

The deliverance of Daniel from the lion’s denDan 6:1-281 [English Bible, Daniel 5:31 to Daniel 6:28]31Darius the Median took [received] the kingdom, being about three score and two years old [as a son of sixty and two years].1It pleased [seemed good before] Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty princes [satraps], which should be over the whole [in all the] kingdom; 2and over2 these [them], three presidents, of whom Daniel was first [one]; that the [these] princes might give... read more

Daniel FAITH STOPPING THE MOUTHS OF LIONS Dan_6:16 - Dan_6:28 . Daniel was verging on ninety when this great test of his faithfulness was presented to him. He had been honoured and trusted through all the changes in the kingdom, and, when the Medo-Persian conquest came, the new monarch naturally found in him, as a foreigner, a more reliable minister than in native officials. ‘Envy doth merit as its shade pursue,’ and the crafty trick by which his subordinates tried to procure his fall, was... read more

Fidelity in Worship Daniel 6:1-15 Though he was the most distinguished man of his day, and full of public business, Daniel managed to find time for prayer, in the evening, morning, and at noon, according to the Hebrew custom, Psalms 55:17 . He was outwardly a great magnate of the Persian court, but inwardly he was as true as ever to the city of his fathers and to the Temple now in ruins, Daniel 6:10 . What a marvelous tribute was afforded to his saintly character by his foes, when they could... read more

“Persecuted for Righteousness’ Sake” Daniel 6:16-28 The plot was an atrocious one, but it hurt its perpetrators more than the victim of their vindictive hatred, Daniel 6:24 . They dug a pit into which they fell themselves. They thought to flatter the king, and secure Daniel’s fall; but their stratagems were like the mines laid at the mouth of a harbor, which are more perilous to those who set them than to others. Still God sends His angels to shut the lions’ mouths, that they may not hurt... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 6:1-28

The last section in the historic portion of the Book is in the reign of Darius. He reorganized the government and distributed the administration among twenty satraps, who, in turn, were responsible to three presidents. Of these Daniel was one, and he was so distinguished by an excellent spirit that Darius proposed to set him over the whole realm. This naturally stirred up jealousy among the other presidents and satraps, who cunningly planned Daniel's downfall. Knowing that they would be... read more

A Man of Affairs Selections from Daniel 6:1-28 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In a previous study, we observed Daniel as a seer. Here we will see him as a man of affairs. As we watch Daniel moving among the great leaders of the Babylonian empire, managing affairs of state with marvelous wisdom, standing head and shoulders above all the men of his day in his moral integrity; we assure ourselves that the seed which produced so great a life was sown in the days of his youth. Daniel, the model youth, was... read more

IN AND OUT‘Into the den.’ … ‘Out of the den.’ Daniel 6:16; Daniel 6:23 Daniel was made one (R.V.) of the three presidents of the kingdom, but he so outshone the others by the excellent spirit that was in him that the king thought to set him over the whole realm. Hence arose the envious conspiracy of the other courtiers. I. Mark here, first, the spirit of murder that lurks in envy.—The very excellence of Daniel’s spirit bred in his enemies all that was evil and murderous, as ‘the sun breeds... read more

DANIEL CONTRA MUNDUM‘So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.’ Daniel 6:23 If you ask, How a man could rise to such a height of holy heroism, that he feared not, for conscience sake, to face the united malice of Darius’s court, and the scarcely more terrible array of the hungry lions, I answer, first and chiefest, it was all of grace; all of grace.But there is another and very remarkable feature about Daniel, to which I... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 6:15

‘Then these men thronged to the king, and said to the king, “Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and the Persians, that no interdict or decree that the king establishes may be changed.” ’ The men were relentless in their pursuit of Daniel. They knew that they had got their way. They stressed to the king the unchangeableness of the law. In a way it was a good law. It prevented the law being changed suddenly to suit someone’s convenience. The same applies in many civilised societies... read more
