Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 6:9
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
9. Such a despotic decree is quite explicable by remembering that the king, as the incarnation of Ormuzd, might demand such an act of religious obedience as a test of loyalty. Persecuting laws are always made on false pretenses. Instead of bitter complaints against men, Daniel prays to God. Though having vast business as a ruler of the empire, he finds time to pray thrice a day. Daniel's three companions ( :- ), are not alluded to here, nor any other Jew who conscientiously may have disregarded the edict, as the conspirators aimed at Daniel alone ( Daniel 6:5 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
