Daniel1:7
Ver. 7. Ʋnto whom the Prince of the Eunuchs gave names] Not without the command of the king, chap. 5.12. as deſirous to naturalize them, and by changing their right names (which had the names of God in them, El and Jah) to make them forget their religion; but that was better rooted, then to be ſo eaſily razed out, though theſe new names were ſhrewd temptations to Apoſtacy and Idolatry: as being compounded of the names of the Babyloniſh gods, and means to make them honourable among the Chaldeans.
