Commentary on Ezekiel 28:3

Theological / Devotional

Wiser than Daniel. Said in irony. Daniel had distinguished himself in the Babylonian court as a man of wisdom and as a revealer of secrets (Dan. 1:20; 2:48; 4:18; 5:11-14; etc.). To such a man the king of Tyre is compared, probably because of his self-satisfied sense of superiority. Some think the Daniel here referred to is the hero by the name of Dan’el mentioned in the Ras Shamrah tablets of the 14th century B.C. (see on Eze. 14:14). This seems highly unlikely.
