Daniel 6:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 6:22

20 And when he came to the den, he cried out with a¹ lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, ^ahas your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?”

21 Then Daniel said to the king, ^a“O king, live forever!

22 ^aMy God sent His angel and ^bshut the lions’ mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.”

23 Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, ^abecause he believed in his God.

Darius Honors God

24 And the king gave the command, ^aand they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions—them, ^btheir children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they ever came to the bottom of the den.

25 ^aThen King Darius wrote: To all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.

26 ^aI make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must ^btremble and fear before the God of Daniel.
^cFor He is the living God,
And steadfast forever;
His kingdom is the one which shall not be ^ddestroyed,
And His dominion shall endure to the end.
