Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 1:16

16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse .

Which he could not but take well, for hereby he gained the costly provision of 4 men for the space of three years to his own use, and profit. Hence observe that Courtiers are no losers by the favours they procure for Gods Servants. 2. They are most willing to serve Gods Servants, when they can therein also serve themselves by it.
