Daniel 1:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

There be three things here to be observed.

1. The hand of God, in persuading Melzar to incline to Daniel's request.

2. The goodness of God, to make good Daniel's words.

3. That the blessing of God upon homely fare affords oftentimes more healthful nourishment and strength, than more costly fare to them that eat the fat and drink the sweet.

Daniel 1:15

15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.
