John Trapp on Daniel 1:6

Ver. 6. Now among theſe were of the children of Judah, Daniel] Who had not his name for nought, as we ſay, but by a providence: It ſignifieth God is my Judge, and ſo indeed he was throughout his whole life, but eſpecially when they caſt him into the Lions den, chap, 16. David had alſo a ſon of the ſame name, and that by Abigail, 2 Sam. 3.3. with 1 Chron. 3.1. in remembrance haply of the right that God had done him upon the churl Nabal, 1 Sam. 25.39.

Hananiah, Miſhael and Azariah] Good names all, and good men all, yet wrapt up, with the reſt, in a common calamity, but for excellent ends, as it afterwards appeared. Meanwhile, God much ſweetened the affliction to theſe four, by their mutual ſociety.
