Daniel 6:11 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 6:11

Then these men assembled
Gathered together, and went in a body to Daniel's house; knowing his times of prayer, and where, and in what manner, he used to pray, to see if they could find him at it as aforetime; that so they might have to accuse him with it. Saadiah says, they found a girl, and asked her what Daniel was doing? she told him that Daniel was on his knees, praying to his God in his chamber; immediately they went, and found as she had said: and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God;
they went into his house, and up into his chamber, the doors not being locked, pretending perhaps business with him, and saw him at his devotions; so that they were able, upon their own knowledge, to bring in an accusation against him for breach of the king's law, and prove it.

Daniel 6:11 In-Context

9 E o rei Dario assinou o decreto.

10 Quando Daniel soube que o decreto tinha sido publicado, foi para casa, para o seu quarto, no andar de cima, cujas janelas davam para Jerusalém e ali fez o que costumava fazer: três vezes por dia ele se ajoelhava e orava, agradecendo ao seu Deus.

11 Então aqueles homens foram investigar e encontraram Daniel orando, pedindo ajuda a Deus.

12 E foram logo falar com o rei acerca do decreto real: “Tu não publicaste um decreto ordenando que nestes trinta dias todo aquele que fizer algum pedido a qualquer deus ou a qualquer homem, exceto a ti, ó rei, será lançado na cova dos leões?”O rei respondeu: “O decreto está em vigor, conforme a lei dos medos e dos persas, que não pode ser revogada”.

13 Então disseram ao rei: “Daniel, um dos exilados de Judá, não te dá ouvidos, ó rei, nem ao decreto que assinaste. Ele continua orando três vezes por dia”.
