Commentary

Commentary on Daniel 6:23

Theological / Devotional

Take Daniel up. The requirements of the royal decree had been met. That decree had not required the execution of the transgressor, but only that he “be cast into the den of lions” (v. 7). There is no question, of course, but that these words implied the death sentence. Daniel had been cast into the lions’ den, and there were no constitutional restrictions to prevent the king from removing Daniel from the lions’ den.
