Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 1:5

_ _ king’s meat — It is usual for an Eastern king to entertain, from the food of his table, many retainers and royal captives (Jeremiah 52:33, Jeremiah 52:34). The Hebrew for “meat” implies delicacies.

_ _ stand before the king — as attendant courtiers; not as eunuchs.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Daniel 1:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Daniel 1:5

The king's meat — Such as he had at his own table.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

(i) With the intent that in this time they might learn both the manners of the Chaldeans, and also their language.

(k) As well as to serve at the table as in other offices.
