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 6:24

6:24 And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they {l} cast [them] into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.(l) This is a terrible example against all the wicked who do against their conscience make cruel laws to destroy the children of God, and also admonishes princes how to punish such when their wickedness is come... 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

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 6:25-28

The subject ends as it might be expected to end. God's faithful servant is delivered: the enemy brought down; and the Lord Jesus himself adored in the salvation of his chosen. So, Lord, let all thy people praise thee, and in the less exercises of the saints of God, give them strength to their day, and send thy salvation out of Zion, to bless thy people in Jerusalem. Amen. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Daniel 6:24

Accused. They were punished as false witnesses; (Calmet) and the king justly made them suffer what they would have inflicted on the innocent, being convinced that Daniel had only acted according to his devotion. (Worthington) --- These wretches deserved to perish, though they had spoken nothing but the truth. (Haydock) --- Wives. Many examples of such punishments occur, (Calmet) as it was presumed that children and wives were infected by the bad example, and would imitiate it, (Junius) if they... read more

Matthew Henry

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
