Daniel 2:17,18 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

What a lovely view is here given of the modesty, humbleness, and grace of Daniel and his companions? He hath no recourse to human policy, or human wisdom, but he seeketh to the Lord his God. Like Hezekiah, he spread the concerns before the Lord. Isaiah 37:14, etc. Reader! let you and I seek grace in all our exercises to do the same. Surely, it is blessed to have a throne of grace to fly unto. And oh! how blessed to know that we have another whom the Father heareth always. Precious Jesus! do I not know that all my concerns, temporal, spiritual, and eternal, are all safe in thine hands.

Daniel 2:17-18

17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

18 That they would desire mercies of the Gode of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
