Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 5:11

11 There is a man in thy kingdom , in whom is the spirit of the holy gods , and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and sooth-sayers;

This man was Daniel, but how come the King not to think of him. Daniel possibly was out of his place, by his own resignation, or his Enemies malicious contrivance, and was willing to withdraw himself from the Court, and from the company of the Soothsayers, and would not be reckoned one of them.
