Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 6:17

_ _ stone ... sealed — typical of Christ’s entombment under a seal (Matthew 27:66). Divinely ordered, that the deliverance might be the more striking.

_ _ his own signet, and ... of his lords — The concurrence of the lords was required for making laws. In this kingly power had fallen since it was in Nebuchadnezzar’s hands. The Median king is a puppet in his lords’ hands; they take the security of their own seal as well as his, that he should not release Daniel. The king’s seal guaranteed Daniel from being killed by them, should he escape the lions.
