Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Daniel 6:1-28

Daniel 6:3-4 Whatever the world thinks, he who hath not much meditated upon God, the human soul, and the sum-mum bonum , may possibly make a thriving earthworm, but will most indubitably make a sorry patriot and a sorry statesman. Berkeley. Daniel 6:4 That we have little faith is not sad, but that we have but little faithfulness. By faithfulness faith is earned. When, in the progress of a life, a man swerves, though only by an angle infinitely small, from his proper and allotted path (and this... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Daniel 6:10-28

STOPPING THE MOUTHS OF LIONSON the view which regards these pictures as powerful parables, rich in spiritual instructiveness, but not primarily concerned with historic accuracy, nor even necessarily with ancient tradition, we have seen how easily "the great strong fresco-strokes" which the narrator loves to use "may have been suggested to him by his diligent study of the Scriptures."The first chapter is a beautiful picture which serves to set forth the glory of moderation and to furnish a vivid... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Daniel 6:22

6:22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him {h} innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done {i} no hurt.(h) My just cause and uprightness in this thing in which I was charged, is approved by God.(i) For he disobeyed the kings’s wicked commandment in order to obey God, and so he did no injury to the king, who ought to command nothing by which God would be dishonoured. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Daniel 6:1-28

FROM NEBUCHADNEZZAR TO CYRUS The effect of the interpretation of his dream on Nebuchadnezzar is the inflation of his pride. To be sure, he was grateful to Daniel (Daniel 2:46-49 ), to whom he offered worship, although the latter rejected it no doubt, as did Paul later (Acts 14:11-18 ). His apprehension of Daniel’s God, however, is yet only as one amongst the national or tribal gods, although greater than they. This is clear from what follows in Daniel 3:1-7 , which is an attempt “to unify... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Daniel 6:14-23

Daniel In the Den Dan 6:14-23 We have seen in what position Darius was placed by the scheming men whose case we have perused: "The king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself." That was good, but it was too late. Is it possible for reflection to come too late in life? Do some men knock at the door when it cannot be opened? What a mystery is this above all mysteries: that men reasoning, reflective, gifted men should thus play the fool! If the light that is in thee be... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 6:19-24

Behold, Reader! what a mighty change! Who so apparently forlorn and wretched as faithful Daniel, when cast into the lion's den: who so blessed when taken out? Reader! do not lose sight of these things; for they are the michtams of the Lord; and ought to be had in everlasting remembrance of all Christ's redeemed and exercised ones. read more

Offence, as I neglected thy decree to obey a higher Master. (Calmet) --- The king had sense enough to approve of this distinction. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 6:18-24

18-24 The best way to have a good night, is to keep a good conscience. We are sure of what the king doubted, that the servants of the living God have a Master well able to protect them. See the power of God over the fiercest creatures, and believe his power to restrain the roaring lion that goeth about continually seeking to devour. Daniel was kept perfectly safe, because he believed in his God. Those who boldly and cheerfully trust in God to protect them in the way of duty, shall always find... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Daniel 6:1-99

Daniel 6 THE MEDO-PERSIAN EMPIRE now became the dominant world power, and Darius became king in Babylon. It appears that historians have difficulty in identifying this man. It may be that he was only a vassal king, under the suzerainty of Cyrus king of Persia; but this is a matter that need not detain us. In the Babylonian section of the new empire he arranged things as he saw fit, and again we find Daniel promoted to a place of great power. The hand of God was in it, though on the human side... read more
