This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In this expedition Nebuchadnezzar carried away some of the vessels of the temple, and some captives, among whom was Daniel and his friends. These vessels he carried into the house of his god; which god was Baal or Bel, and Nebo, Isa_46:1; which words they put into the names of their kings and favourites, of which more afterward. These vessels as spoils he put in the house of his god, for his honour, because he thought he had gotten his victory by the help of his idol god, 1Sa_31:9,10, as the Philistines did, Jud_16:23,24; whereas the text saith the Lord gave all into his hand, Dan_1:2. The executioners of God’s wrath upon God’s sinful people have other thoughts than God hath about that, Isa_10:5-16.
