John Trapp Complete Commentary - Daniel 5:17

Dan 5:17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation. Ver. 17. Let thy gifts be to thyself. ] Honours, pleasures, riches, “ Haec tria pro trino numine mmadus habet. ” But as Moses, by the force of his faith, overcame them all, Heb 11:24-27 so did Daniel here, throwing off the offers of them, and answering the king’s proud speech with a grave... read more

Art thou: Though Daniel was one of the chief ministers of state, who did "the king's business" in the palace - Daniel 8:27, yet Belshazzar seems to have known nothing of him. This shews that he was a weak and vicious prince, who minded pleasure more than business, according to the character given him by historians. He appears to have left the care of public affairs to his mother, Nitocris, a lady celebrated for her wisdom, who evidently knew Daniel well, and probably constantly employed him in... read more

Let: Daniel, on this occasion, behaved in a very different manner to Belshazzar, than he had formerly done to Nebuchadnezzar. Belshazzar had that very night insulted the God of heaven in the most daring manner; and the venerable prophet, as His delegate, denounced sentence against him.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 5:13-16

13-16. Art thou that Daniel Or, with Prince, So thou art Daniel. (Compare Daniel 8:27, and note on Daniel 5:12.) The oldest LXX. follows a shorter text: “Then Daniel was brought to the king, and the king answered and said, O Daniel, art thou able to show me the interpretation of the writing? And I will clothe thee with purple and put a gold chain about thy neck, and thou shalt have authority over a third part of my kingdom.” This is more reasonable than the elaborate speech of the A.V.,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 5:17-23

17-23. According to our text (the Greek is shorter) Daniel refuses to recognize his equality with the Babylonian Magi by accepting the presents which had previously been promised to them (Daniel 5:7), though afterward he accepts them (Daniel 5:29). His speech is abrupt (as Daniel 3:16) and sharp, with an intimation that Belshazzar himself needs gifts rather than he, and there may be a touch of irony in the opening words which offer to Belshazzar his coveted position as the son of... read more
