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.

19 Então o mistério foi revelado a Daniel de noite, numa visão. Daniel louvou o Deus dos céus
