Daniel 5:13 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 5:13

Then was Daniel brought in before the king
Proper officers being sent to seek and find him; and having fetched him from his house or apartment where he lived, which seems to have been in the city of Babylon, though not very probably at court as formerly, he was introduced in form into the king's presence; and the king spake and said unto Daniel, art thou that Daniel, which
art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father
brought out of Jewry?
by which it appears he did not know him, at least had forgot him; not having admitted him to any familiarity with him, as his grandfather had done; and though the queen had given such great commendations of him, yet the king does not treat him with that respect as might have been expected, and as Nebuchadnezzar did, ( Daniel 4:9 ) , but seems to reproach him with his servile condition, being a captive whom his grandfather had brought out of Judea, as it were triumphing over him and his people; which shows the haughtiness of his heart, and that it was not brought down by this consternation and fright he was thrown into.

Daniel 5:13 In-Context

11 En el reino de Su Majestad hay un hombre en quien reposa el espíritu de los santos dioses. Cuando vivía el rey Nabucodonosor, padre de Su Majestad, se halló que ese hombre poseía sabiduría, inteligencia y gran percepción, semejantes a las de los dioses. El padre de Su Majestad llegó a nombrar a ese hombre jefe de los magos, hechiceros, astrólogos y adivinos.

12 Y es que ese hombre tiene una mente aguda, amplios conocimientos, e inteligencia y capacidad para interpretar sueños, explicar misterios y resolver problemas difíciles. Llame usted a ese hombre, y él le dirá lo que significa ese escrito. Se llama Daniel, aunque el padre de Su Majestad le puso por nombre Beltsasar.

13 Daniel fue llevado a la presencia del rey, y este le preguntó:—¿Así que tú eres Daniel, uno de los exiliados que mi padre trajo de Judá?

14 Me han contado que en ti reposa el espíritu de los dioses, y que posees gran agudeza e inteligencia, y una sabiduría sorprendente.

15 Los sabios y hechiceros se presentaron ante mí para leer esta escritura y decirme lo que significa, pero no pudieron descifrarla.
