Commentary on Daniel 6:5

Theological / Devotional

The law of his God. A careful scrutiny of Daniel’s habits, a close observation of his dealings with associates and subordinates, and a careful checking of the records, revealed no irregularities to provide a ground for complaints or accusations. However, Daniel’s enemies discovered that he was never to be found worshiping in any of the temples of Babylon, nor did he take part in any heathen religious ceremonies. Undoubtedly they had noticed that he was absent from his office every Sabbath, the day of weekly rest prescribed in “the law of his God.” They doubtless reasoned that his set times for prayer interfered with the discharge of his official duties.
