Daniel
There are three Daniels mentioned in the Bible. The first is a son of king David who is also known as Chileab (see 1 Chr 3:1 and 2 Sam 3:3). Daniel number two is the famous one who wrote the Book of Daniel and who was among the first exile wave to Babylon. Daniel number three - possibly named after number two - is mentioned among the second wave of returning Israelites (Ezr 8:2). |
(El 93)the abbreviated form of
(din 426), judge, contend, plead. The postfixed yod indicate possession: my judging, contending, etc. It should be noted that judging in Biblical days was much more a governmental enterprise than a legal one.
