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

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Daniel 1:1-21

NEBUCHADNEZZAR ’S DREAM Daniel, like Ezekiel, was an Israelite in Babylonian captivity, but of a little earlier date (Daniel 1:1-4 , compared with Ezekiel 1:1-2 ). Of royal blood, fine physique, strong intellectuality and deep knowledge, he became trained in the language, traditions and astrological science of his captors that, with the other eunuchs, he might serve their king in responsible relations in the palace (Daniel 1:4-7 ). For religious reasons, and out of reverence to the true God,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 1:1-2

These verses are introductory to the main subject of the Prophet's writings. He relates the circumstance of the captivity. We find a confirmation of the same, Isaiah 39:0 ; Jeremiah 52:0 . I only detain the Reader at these verses to remark the awful event of the carrying away the sacred vessels of the temple, and putting them in the house of an idol. Alas! is it not so in every instance, when from the fall of man, what was designed for the Lord's glory is abused to the service of sin? read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Daniel 1:1-99

Daniel 1 THREE TIMES DID Nebuchadnezzar and his servants come up against Jerusalem, when the three kings, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin and Zedekiah, fell before him. On the first of these occasions, Daniel and his three friends were carried captive amongst a number of youths of royal or princely birth, who were considered to be of exceptional intellectual capacity the pick of the nation in wisdom and understanding. The astute Babylonian king intended to fortify his position with the cleverest men of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Daniel 1:1-7

Daniel and his Friends Brought to Babylon v. 1. In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, Cf 2 Kings 24:1; 2 Chronicles 36:6-Judges :, came Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. This account, which has been declared to be untrue by unbelieving Bible critics, is abundantly supported and verified by secular accounts, as recent investigations have shown; for even if Nabopolassar was king of Babylon at the beginning of this year, his death took place... read more
