Daniel 1:17-20 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Reader! when the Church of God; (which Daniel and his companions represented), is called in to stand before the King; and Jesus himself communes with his redeemed! how fully will it be found, that there can be none like the Church in point of knowledge, skill, and wisdom: because Christ himself is made of God unto all his people: wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. Such honour have all his saints!

Daniel 1:17-20

17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Danield had understanding in all visions and dreams.

18 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.

20 And in all matters of wisdome and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
