Daniel 2:17 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 2:17

Then Daniel went to his house
Which Sanctius thinks was in the king's palace; very probably it might be near it, somewhere in the city of Babylon; for that it should be twenty miles from that city, as Benjamin of Tudela relates ^F15, is not likely; since Arioch's orders reached to none but the wise men of Babylon, and where he sought for and found Daniel; hither he went, to be alone, and to seek the Lord in secret: and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his
companions;
who either dwelt in the same house with him, or not far off; whom he sent for and acquainted with all that had passed, both between the king and the wise men, and the consequence of that; and between him and the king, and what promise he had made, relying on his God and theirs.

Daniel 2:17 In-Context

15 Und er fing an und sprach zu des Königs Vogt, Arioch: Warum ist ein so strenges Urteil vom König ausgegangan? Und Arioch zeigte es dem Daniel an.

16 Da ging Daniel hinein und bat den König, daß er ihm Frist gäbe, damit er die Deutung dem König sagen möchte.

17 Und Daniel ging heim und zeigte solches an seinen Gesellen, Hananja, Misael und Asarja,

18 daß sie den Gott des Himmels um Gnade bäten solches verborgenen Dinges halben, damit Daniel und seine Gesellen nicht samt den andern Weisen zu Babel umkämen.

19 Da ward Daniel solch verborgenes Ding durch ein Gesicht des Nachts offenbart.
