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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Daniel 6:1-17

Daniel a Victim of Jealousy v. 1. It pleased Darius, when he had fully taken over the government of the kingdom, to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, called satraps in secular history, which should be over the whole kingdom, as governors of the smaller sections, or provinces, into which the empire was divided, v. 2. and over these three presidents, chief prefects, or ministers, of whom Daniel was first, not higher in rank, but first in dignity, that the princes might... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Daniel 6:1-15

Fidelity in Worship Daniel 6:1-15 Though he was the most distinguished man of his day, and full of public business, Daniel managed to find time for prayer, in the evening, morning, and at noon, according to the Hebrew custom, Psalms 55:17 . He was outwardly a great magnate of the Persian court, but inwardly he was as true as ever to the city of his fathers and to the Temple now in ruins, Daniel 6:10 . What a marvelous tribute was afforded to his saintly character by his foes, when they could... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 6:1-28

The last section in the historic portion of the Book is in the reign of Darius. He reorganized the government and distributed the administration among twenty satraps, who, in turn, were responsible to three presidents. Of these Daniel was one, and he was so distinguished by an excellent spirit that Darius proposed to set him over the whole realm. This naturally stirred up jealousy among the other presidents and satraps, who cunningly planned Daniel's downfall. Knowing that they would be... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Daniel 6:1-28

A Man of Affairs Selections from Daniel 6:1-28 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In a previous study, we observed Daniel as a seer. Here we will see him as a man of affairs. As we watch Daniel moving among the great leaders of the Babylonian empire, managing affairs of state with marvelous wisdom, standing head and shoulders above all the men of his day in his moral integrity; we assure ourselves that the seed which produced so great a life was sown in the days of his youth. Daniel, the model youth, was... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 6:10

TRIAL AND DELIVERANCE‘Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.’ Daniel 6:10 I. In these few and simple words we have an insight given to us into the true character of Daniel, and into the hidden source of his strength.—Many years had elapsed since he had been carried, in early youth, into the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 6:10

The Trap Is Sprung. ‘And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went to his house. Now his windows were open in his chamber towards Jerusalem. And he knelt on his knees three times a day and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he had done before.’ It is possible that neither the king nor Daniel saw the decree as preventing private devotions, for all Daniel had to do was to avoid his window and then no one would have known what he was doing. He knew that the decree had been... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 6:1-28

Daniel 6. Daniel in the Den of Lions.— After giving an account of the reorganisation of the empire by Darius after the fall of Babylon, this chapter describes a conspiracy formed against Daniel by the princes, which resulted in his being thrown into a den of lions for refusing to obey a decree which forbade prayer to God. Daniel is found alive and unhurt the next morning. His accusers are thrown to the lions and instantly devoured. Darius then issues a decree commanding the whole world to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 6:10

His windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem: this was, 1 Kings 8:47-49, according to Solomon’s prayer, which doubtless all the devout Jews in their captivity did observe. Toward Jerusalem; not towards the east, which was the manner of the Gentiles; nor towards the king’s palace, lest that, in compliance with the king’s edict, he should seem to worship him; but towards the west and the temple in Jerusalem, where the holy of holies stood in the west end, and because the temple was the... read more
