Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 6:10

Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed - Probably there was some proclamation made in regard to that decree.He went into his house - That is, he went in in his usual manner. He made no change in his habits on account of the decree.And his windows being open in his chamber - Open in the usual manner. It does not mean that he took pains to open them for the purpose of ostentation, or to show that he disregarded the decree, but that he took no care to close them with any view to avoid... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 6:10

Daniel 6:10. Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house, &c. He did not retire to the country, or abscond for some time, though he knew that the law was levelled against him; but because he knew it was so, therefore he stood his ground, knowing that he had now a fair opportunity of honouring God before men, and showing that he preferred his favour, and his own duty to him, before life itself. And his windows being open in his chamber The LXX. read, εν... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Daniel 6:1-28

Daniel in the lion’s den (6:1-28)There had been no opportunity for Daniel to enjoy his return to high office, because Babylon fell the night he was reinstated (see 5:29-30). But the new rulers would have known of his record under Nebuchadnezzar, so they made him one of the three presidents appointed to administer the nation (6:1-2).Daniel had such obvious ability that the other two presidents soon became jealous of him. They wanted to get rid of him, but were unable to find any accusation of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 6:10

"And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem); and he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God. Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 6:10

Daniel 6:10. His windows being open, &c.— According to the ancient custom of the Jews, those who were in the country, or in foreign lands, turned themselves towards Jerusalem; and those who were in Jerusalem turned themselves towards the temple to pray, conformably to Solomon's consecration-prayer, 1 Kings 8:48-49. His chamber, in the Greek, is, his upper chamber. It seems to have been the custom among the devout Jews to set apart some upper room for their oratories, as places farthest from... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 6:10

The new decree did not deter Daniel from continuing to pray for the welfare of the city where God had sent them into exile, and for the Jews’ return from exile. That this was the subject of his praying, among other things, including thanksgiving (Daniel 6:10), seems clear since Daniel possessed a copy of Jeremiah’s prophecy (Daniel 9:2; cf. Jeremiah 29:1; Jeremiah 29:7; Jeremiah 29:10). Jeremiah had written that God had promised to hear such prayers, if they were sincere and wholehearted, to... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 6:1-28

The Den of LionsDarius the Mede divides his kingdom into 120 satrapies, the whole being superintended by three higher officials, of whom Daniel was one (Daniel 6:1-2). Daniel is in special favour, and Darius meditates giving him a still higher office (Daniel 6:3). This rouses the jealousy of his colleagues, who plot his ruin (Daniel 6:4-5). They persuade Darius to make a decree that no one shall ask anything for 30 days from God or man, save from the king, on pain of being cast into the den of... read more
