Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 1:15

15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and fatter in flesh, then all the children which did eat the portion of the kings meat .

There be three things here to be observed. 1. The hand of God in perswading Melzar to encline to Daniels request. 2. The goodness of God, to make good Daniels words. 3. That the blessing of God upon homely fare, affords often times more healthful nourishment and strength, then more costly fare to them that eat the fat and drink the sweet.
