Theological / Devotional

Deliver thee. The king’s words were in striking contrast with those of Nebuchadnezzar uttered on another occasion that was in some respects similar (ch. 3:15). Darius may have been acquainted with the miracles that God had performed in the days of Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar.
