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 Prenant la parole, il dit à Arioc, le grand officier du roi: Pourquoi cette sentence si sévère de la part du roi? Alors Arioc fit connaître l'affaire à Daniel.

16 Et Daniel entra et pria le roi de lui accorder du temps pour donner l'interprétation au roi.

17 Puis Daniel alla dans sa maison et informa de cette affaire Hanania, Mishaël et Azaria, ses compagnons,

18 Pour implorer la miséricorde du Dieu des cieux touchant ce secret, afin qu'on ne fit point périr Daniel et ses compagnons, avec le reste des sages de Babylone.

19 Alors le secret fut révélé à Daniel, dans une vision, pendant la nuit. Et Daniel bénit le Dieu des cieux.
