Daniele 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.

Daniele 2:17 In-Context

15 E fece motto ad Arioc, ufficiale del re, e gli disse: Qual è la cagione, che il re ha dato un decreto tanto affrettato? Allora Arioc fece assapere il fatto a Daniele.

16 E Daniele entrò dal re, e lo richiese che gli desse tempo, e ch’egli dichiarerebbe l’interpretazione del sogno al re.

17 Allora Daniele andò a casa sua, e fece assaper la cosa ad Anania, a Misael, e ad Azaria, suoi compagni.

18 Ed essi chiesero misericordia all’Iddio del cielo, intorno a questo segreto; acciocchè Daniele, e i suoi compagni non fosser messi a morte con gli altri savi di Babilonia.

19 Allora il segreto fu rivelato a Daniele, in vision notturna. In quello stante Daniele benedisse l’Iddio del cielo.
