Daniel2:17
17 Then Daniel went to his house , and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah his companions .
According to the good hand of his God upon him who had shewn him favour thus far, and obtained the Kings leave he went to his house near the Palace, that he might seek God in secret for this great thing. For 1. Their lives were at stake. 2. It was not a small thing he was sure that God was about, wherewith he had troubled the Kings mind in such a manner.
Therefore reinforceth his strength calling his friends to help him, as Prayer in times of danger is the most seasonable and soveraign help, so in a common danger we must call in all the help we can to it.
