Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 1:7

7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names : for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar n, and to Hananiah of Shadrach, and to Mishael of Meshach, and to Azariah of Abednego.

That is other Names, this was done by the subtle instigation of Satan, that they might renounce their names received in circumcision, by assuming names imposed relating to the Idol gods, being a profanation, and a further degree of their apostasie, for Daniel had the name of Belt[illegible: 2 letters]hassar or Baltasar, from the great Babylonian Idol Baal or Bel, &c. This was by the Kings Command, and herein he put forth an act of his soveraignty: Thus Adam, Gen. 2.19, 20. Thus Pharaoh did, Gen. 41.45. he gave Ioseph the name of Zaphnath-paaneah. And Pharaoh Necho changed the name of Eliakim (Iosiahs Son) to Iehojakim, 2 King. 23.34. And the King of Babylon turned the name of Mattaniah to Zedekiah, 2 King. 24.17. The Lord changed the name of Sarai to Sarah, of Abram to Abraham. Of Iacob to Israel. Thus the Lord changed Simons name to Cephas or Peter, Mark 3.16.
