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

 * in whom.

 * 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.
