This name (Hebrew dnyal or dnal; Septuagint Daniel) means "God is my judge", and is thus a fitting appellation for the writer of the Book of Daniel, wherein God’s judgements are repeatedly pronounced upon the Gentile powers. Nearly all that is known concerning the Prophet Daniel is derived from the book ascribed to him. He belonged to the tribe of Juda and was of noble, or perhaps of royal, descent. When still a youth, probably about fourteen years of age, he was carried captive to Babylon by Nabuchodonosor in the fourth year of the reign of Joakim (605 B.C.).  PREPARATION FOR THE KING'S SERVICE There, with three other youths of equal rank named  Ananias, Misael, and Azarias  he was entrusted to the care of Asphenez, the master of the king’s eunuchs, and was educated in the language and learning ...
