Commentary on Daniel 6:22

Theological / Devotional

Shut the lions’ mouths. The writer of the epistle to the Hebrews refers to this experience of Daniel and attributes the deliverance of the prophet to the power of faith (Heb. 11:33).

Innocency was found in me. Presumably Daniel had not defended himself or his actions before he was thrown to the lions. Any word spoken at that time might have been interpreted by his enemies as weakness or a sign of fear. Now, however, after God had seen fit to save his life, Daniel chose to declare his innocence.
