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 Hay un hombre en su reino en quien vive el espíritu de los dioses santos. Durante el reinado de Nabucodonosor, este hombre demostró percepción, entendimiento y sabiduría como la que tienen los dioses. El rey que precedió a usted, o sea su antecesor, el rey Nabucodonosor, lo nombró jefe de todos los magos, los brujos, los astrólogos y los adivinos de Babilonia.

12 Este hombre, Daniel, a quien el rey le dio por nombre Beltsasar, tiene un intelecto excepcional y rebosa de conocimiento y entendimiento divino. Puede interpretar sueños, explicar acertijos y resolver problemas difíciles. Mande llamar a Daniel y él le dirá el significado de lo que está escrito en la pared».

13 Daniel explica la escritura
Entonces trajeron a Daniel delante del rey y el rey le preguntó:
—¿Eres tú ese Daniel, uno de los cautivos traídos de Judá por mi antecesor, el rey Nabucodonosor?

14 He oído que el espíritu de los dioses vive en ti y que tienes mucha percepción, entendimiento y sabiduría.

15 Mis sabios y brujos han intentado leer las palabras escritas en la pared y explicarme su significado, pero no pueden.
