VERSE 4 
 - Children.
  The word {yeladim,} rendered children, is frequently used for
  lads, or young men. (see Ge 21:8, 14-16,) [         ,] as the
  LXX. render; and Daniel must have been at this time at least
  seventeen or eighteen years of age.

- in whom.
   * Le 21:18-21; 24:19,20 Jud 8:18 2Sa 14:25 Ac 7:20 Eph 5:27
- and skilful.
  Rather, as Houbigant renders, "apt to understand wisdom, to
  acquire knowledge, and to attain science;" for it was not a
  knowledge of the sciences, but merely a capacity to learn
  them, that was required.

- defile.
  Heathen nations not only ate unclean beasts, which were
  forbidden by Jewish law, but even the clean animals that were
  eaten were first offered as victims to their gods, and part
  of the wine was poured out as a libation on their altars.
  Hence Athen'us calls the beasts served up at the tables of
  the Persian kings, [         ,] victims.  Daniel was
  therefore resolved not to defile himself with their viands;
  yet he did not rudely refuse what was intended as a kindness,
  but mildly and modestly requested the proper officers to
  indulge him in this respect.
