Daniel 6:7
_ _ The Persian king was regarded as representative of the chief god, Ormuzd; the seven princes near him represented the seven Amshaspands before the throne of Ormuzd; hence Mordecai (Esther 3:4) refused such homage to Haman, the king’s prime minister, as inconsistent with what is due to God alone. A weak despot, like Darius, much under the control of his princes, might easily be persuaded that such a decree would test the obedience of the Chaldeans just conquered, and tame their proud spirits. So absolute is the king in the East, that he is regarded not merely as the ruler, but the owner, of the people.
_ _ All ... governors ... counsellors, etc. — Several functionaries are here specified, not mentioned in Daniel 6:4, Daniel 6:6. They evidently exaggerated the case of the weak king, as if their request was that of all the officers in the empire.
_ _ den of lions — an underground cave or pit, covered with a stone. It is an undesigned proof of genuineness, that the “fiery furnace” is not made the means of punishment here, as in Daniel 3:20; for the Persians were fire-worshippers, which the Babylonians were not. |
- All:
Daniel 6:2-3 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel [was] first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. ... Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit [was] in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Daniel 3:2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Daniel 3:27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.

John 12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
Acts 4:5-7 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, ... And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
Acts 4:26-28 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. ... For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

- he shall:
Daniel 3:6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Daniel 3:11 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, [that] he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Psalms 10:9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
