Daniel: Daniel, says Abp. Newcombe, was "taken captive in the third year of Jehoiakim (Dan 1:1). After this, Jehoiakam reigned eight years (2Ki 23:36). And this prophecy, as appears from Eze 8:1, was uttered in the sixth year of Jehoiachin's captivity, who succeeded Jehoiakim, and reigned only three months (2Ki 24:6, 2Ki 24:8). Therefore, at this time, Daniel had been fourteen years in captivity;" and was, as is generally supposed, about thirty years of age.
