Daniel 1:11

1:11 Daniel then spoke to the warden ¹  whom the overseer of the court officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

Daniel 2:12

2:12 Because of this the king got furiously angry ²  and gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel 3:23

3:23 But those three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell into the furnace ³  of blazing fire while still securely bound. ⁴ 

Daniel 11:9

11:9 Then the king of the north ⁵  will advance against the empire of the king of the south, but will withdraw to his own land.

Daniel 11:19

11:19 He will then turn his attention to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall, not to be found again.

¹ sn Having failed to convince the overseer, Daniel sought the favor of the warden whom the overseer had appointed to care for the young men.

² tn Aram “was angry and very furious.” The expression is a hendiadys (two words or phrases expressing a single idea).

³ tn Aram “into the midst of the furnace.” For stylistic reasons the words “the midst of” have been left untranslated.

⁴ sn The deuterocanonical writings known as The Prayer of Azariah and The Song of the Three present at this point a confession and petition for God’s forgiveness and a celebration of God’s grace for the three Jewish youths in the fiery furnace. Though not found in the Hebrew/Aramaic text of Daniel, these compositions do appear in the ancient Greek versions.

⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king of the north) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
