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 Existe um homem em teu reino que possui o espírito dos santos deuses. Na época do teu predecessor verificou-se que ele era um iluminado e tinha inteligência e sabedoria como a dos deuses. O rei Nabucodonosor, teu predecessor—sim, o teu predecessor—o nomeou chefe dos magos, dos encantadores, dos astrólogos e dos adivinhos.

12 Verificou-se que esse homem, Daniel, a quem o rei dera o nome de Beltessazar, tinha inteligência extraordinária e também a capacidade de interpretar sonhos e resolver enigmas e mistérios. Manda chamar Daniel, e ele te dará o significado da escrita”.

13 Assim Daniel foi levado à presença do rei, que lhe disse: “Você é Daniel, um dos exilados que meu pai, o rei, trouxe de Judá?

14 Soube que o espírito dos deuses está em você e que você é um iluminado com inteligência e sabedoria fora do comum.

15 Trouxeram os sábios e os encantadores à minha presença para lerem essa inscrição e me dizerem o seu significado, porém eles não o conseguiram.
