Theological / Devotional

They may bear. The birth of grandchildren in exile indicates that their captivity would last for at least two generations. It was also revealed that they would be left in comparative peace to pursue their ways, for their captors would permit them to possess houses and land (see on v. 5). The royal favor extended to Daniel must have been a factor in easing the lot of the Jewish captives.
