F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Daniel 1:1-21

Moral Courage Rewarded Daniel 1:1-21 These young men of noble Jewish families were brought to Babylon to receive education for the civil service. Their names were altered to break, so far as possible, their connection with the past. The food provided probably contravened Leviticus 3:17 . According to the usual custom it had been presented before an idol, 1 Corinthians 8:10 . Note those words: Daniel purposed in his heart . It is all important to resolve in one’s heart that certain things... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 1:1-21

During the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Daniel came into favor and power. The king seems to have been impressed by the people he had conquered. He desired that some of the choicest of their young men be included among his own confidential servants. Among those selected were four especially named, among whom was Daniel. They were set apart for training and preparation for their official duties. This training lasted three years. They had special physical attention, and their food and drink were... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Daniel 1:1-21

Daniel, the Seer Daniel 1:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we enter the study of Daniel, the Seer, it is well to note the conditions under which Daniel was found in the city of Babylon. The captivity of Israel had long since occurred. The captivity of Judah had now begun. King Nebuchadnezzar had besieged Jerusalem, had taken it, and had carried Jehoiakim its king unto Babylon. Among the captives were found Daniel and his three friends, who were picked out by Ashpenaz to be trained to stand in the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 1:1

Chapter 1 Daniel Is Established At The Court of Babylon. ‘In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, came Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to Jerusalem and besieged it.’ Here the dating is based on the Babylonian system of dating by which the opening part-year after a king’s accession was thought of as ‘the year of accession’ (compare 2 Kings 25:27), and the first full year of the reign (and therefore the second year of his reign in Israelite eyes ) was called the first year.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 1:1-21

Daniel 1. Daniel at the Court of Nebuchadnezzar.— This introductory chapter describes the circumstances which brought Daniel to Babylon, introduced him into the Court, and gained him favour with the king. The writer’ s purpose is to enforce the duty of loyalty to the Law and the principles of religion, and he illustrates his point by describing Daniel’ s refusal to “ defile himself with the king’ s meat and wine” ( Daniel 1:8). There can be little doubt that his object in this chapter is to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 1:1

Comparing this with 2 Kings 24:1, and with 2 Chronicles 36:6, the meaning is, after the Lord had taken away that good king Josiah for the sins of Judah and Manasseh, which were very great, by Pharaoh-necho king of Egypt, the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king; he reigned but three months, wherein he did so much evil in the sight of the Lord, that the said Pharaoh-necho put him in bands at Riblah, and afterwards carried him to Egypt, where he died, and made... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Daniel 1:1-2

HOMILETICSSECT. I.—THE CAPTIVITY (Daniel 1:1-2)This remarkable book opens with the scene or Israel’s deepest degradation and misery. Threatened judgments had at length come. Warnings had been addressed in vain. Divine expostulations had been unheeded. The kingdom of Judah, like that of Israel, had forsaken its God and King, and must now, like it, be forsaken by Him. Idolatry and wickedness can no longer be tolerated in the chosen people. Manasseh’s sin in filling Jerusalem with innocent blood... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 1:1-21

Daniel 1:1-21 I. We see here how national sins are ever followed by Divine retribution. II. We see here most admirably illustrated the duty of adhering in all circumstances to that course of conduct which in our consciences we believe to be right. III. We have in this history an illustration of the value of temperance in eating and drinking. IV. We may see here how God's hand is in all His people's concerns. W. M. Taylor, Daniel the Beloved, p. 1.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Daniel 1:1-21

There are men who spend their lifetimes seeking to prove that the Bible is not all that it purports to be. Their whole premise for their doctorates are trying to take some aspect of the Bible and show that it isn't all that it claims to be. One of the favorite tactics of these men are to take the various books of the Bible and to try to prove that they are not written by those authors that they claim to be written by. And the book of Daniel has come under this cloak of what they call "higher... read more
