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

HOMILETICSSECT. XVIII.—THE PLOT (Chap. Daniel 6:1-9)Another of the deeply interesting chapters of Daniel. A former one exhibited faith “quenching the violence of fire;” this presents the same faith “stopping the mouths of lions.” The events recorded took place in the reign of a Persian monarch named Darius, generally understood to be the Darius mentioned in the conclusion of the previous chapter, and the same who is called by a Greek historian Cyaxares the Younger or Cyaxares II., the son of... read more

Daniel 6:2 . Three presidents, of whom Daniel was the first. His former celebrity had spread through the east. Ezekiel 14:0. It being now sixty five years since Daniel was first promoted by Nebuchadnezzar, he is supposed at this time to be about ninety years of age, and at the same time the most able state minister in the empire. The king therefore made no secret of his design to make him premier of all the satraps, and place him in power next to the king at the foot of the throne. Daniel... read more

Daniel 6:1-10It pleased Darius to set over the Kingdom.Daniel and his enemiesDarius appointed an entirely new administration, but it does not appear that he made any material change in the financial system of the Empire. Daniel we may call the First Lord of the Treasury. Daniel s high reputation was confirmed by experience of his wisdom, integrity, and self-renouncing devotion to the public good. The King intended to set him over the whole realm, to give him all the power over the several... read more

Daniel 6:7Consulted together to establish a royal statute.The Faith of Daniel TestedIt was common for the Chaldeans to administer capital punishment by burning. To the Persians, who were worshippers of fire, this was regarded as something of an abomination, and hence they destroyed their condemned criminals by casting them to savage beasts. Whatever may have been the deficiences of this Darius, he had the shrewdness to find out the best and most competent man in Babylon to serve him as his... read more

7. They told the king that all the “presidents” (though this was not true of Daniel, Daniel 6:2), “the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors” (R.V.) favored a royal decree and “strong interdict” which should provide death by the lions (see note Daniel 6:16) for any person who “offereth prayer or presents petition [namely, in prayer] to any god for the space of thirty days, save only to Darius the king” (Greek). The statute asked for was so absurd that it has seemed... read more
