Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 1:9-13

Daniel must have established a good relationship with the officials in direct authority over him, especially the overseer (steward, Daniel 1:11). He received a favorable response (Heb. hesed, loyal love, and rahamim, compassion) when he proposed a ten-day dietary test. But it was Yahweh who moved the overseer’s heart (cf. 1 Kings 8:50; Psalms 106:46), another indication of God’s sovereignty. Notice that Daniel did not rebel against the restrictions that his elders placed upon him. Instead he... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Daniel 1:12

(12) Ten days.—The number “ten” is treated as a round number here, and in Daniel 1:20. (Comp. Genesis 31:41.) By adopting this mode of life, Daniel resumes the simple diet commonly used by his ancestors previously to their entering Canaan (Deuteronomy 12:15-16; Deuteronomy 26:5; Deuteronomy 26:9). This simplicity of life prevailed till the early times of David (1 Samuel 17:17-18). At the Persian court, in later times, Daniel changed his rule of life (Daniel 10:3), the infirmities of age... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Daniel 1:1-21

THE PRELUDE"His loyalty he kept, his faith, his love."-MILTONTHE first chapter of the Book of Daniel serves as a beautiful introduction to the whole, and strikes the keynote of faithfulness to the institutions of Judaism which of all others seemed most important to the mind of a pious Hebrew in the days of Antiochus Epiphanes. At a time when many were wavering, and many had lapsed into open apostasy, the writer wished to set before his countrymen in the most winning and vivid manner the... read more
