ダニエル書 6:19-20 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Daniel 6:18-24

Here is, I. The melancholy night which the king had, upon Daniel's account, Dan. 6:18. He had said, indeed, that God would deliver him out of the danger, but at the same time he could not forgive himself for throwing him into the danger; and justly might God deprive him of a friend whom he had himself used so barbarously. He went to his palace, vexed at himself for what he had done, and calling himself unwise and unjust for not adhering to the law of God and nature with a non obstante?a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 6:19

Then the king arose very early in the morning ,.... Or, "in the morning with light" F9 בשפרפרא־בנגהא "summa aurora cum luce", Junius & Tremellius; "in tempore aurorae cum luce", Piscator. as soon as ever light appeared, or the day broke: the word for morning is doubled, and one of the letters in it is larger than usual; and all which denote not only his very great earliness in rising, but his earnestness and solicitude for Daniel, to know whether he was alive or not: and went... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 6:20

And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel ,.... Expressing grief and sorrow his heart was full of; it was rather like howling than speaking; thus he cried before he saw Daniel, or heard him speak: when he was near to the den F11 במקרבה לגבא "cum appropinquasset ad foveam", Pagninus; "quumque appropinquaret ad foveam", Piscator. , as it may be rendered; and he was between hope and fear about Daniel's safety; when within sight of the den, and... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 6:19

Verse 19 Here the king begins to act with a little more consistency, when he approaches the pit. He was formerly struck down by fear as to yield to his nobles, and to forget his royal dignity by delivering himself up to them as a captive. But now he neither dreads their envy nor the perverseness of their discourse. He approaches the lions’ den early in the morning, says he, — that is, at dawn, before it was, light, coming during the twilight, and in haste. Thus we see him suffering under the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 6:20

Verse 20 WANT of time compelled me to break off our last Lecture at the point where Daniel relates how the king approached the cave Now he reports his words, — O Daniel, servant of the living God! thy God whom thou worshipest constantly, has he been able to deliver thee? says he. Darius declares the God of Israel to be the living One. But if there is a living God, he excludes all those imaginary deities whom men fancy for themselves by their own ingenuity. For it is necessary that deity should... read more

Strength of soul. "Now when Daniel knew," etc. (verse 10). Daniel stands here before us a magnificent instance of strength of soul ( Psalms 138:3 ). We have also the advantage of seeing him contrasted with a blameworthy and contemptible weakness, as well as with something worse—with weakness passing into wickedness. I. STRENGTH . As exhibited by the saint, statesman, and prophet. See it: 1 . Advancing to the throne in common life. The new organization included a hundred and... read more

The lions' den. The story of "the lions' den" may be regarded as an instance of persecution frustrated. I. HIGH STATION OFTEN OCCASIONS SEVERE TRIALS TO RELIGIOUS FIDELITY . If it had not been for his rank and office, Daniel would have been left unmolested. There is safety in obscurity. 1 . The customs of high places are often inimical to religious fidelity. Daniel must have been tempted by fashion before he was attacked by persecution. His religious habits were... read more
