Is Daniel of the lions den famethe son of king david?

Answer 1

Yes, King David was a prophet according to both the Old and New Testament.

The prophets who wrote down their prophecies (think of the Old Testament Major and Minor Prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, etc.) declared their prophecy by saying God (YHWH) was speaking directly to them.

David says this in 2 Samuel 23.

The book of Acts in the New Testament also declares King David a prophet in Acts 2:29-35.

Answer 2

King David is said to have lived during the period known as the United Monarchy, in the tenth century BCE. The Book of Daniel places Daniel in the time of the Babylonian Exile, in the sixth century BCE. There is little evidence that Daniel was a real, historical person, but he certainly could not have been King David's son.

Answer 3

If one defines a 'prophet' as 'someone through whom divine will is made known', (Luke 1:70 +Acts 3:18-21) then YES, David was used as a prophet to deliver divine revelations on several occasions. Jesus used the example of Psalm 110 to point to David as writing 'by inspiration' (Matthew 22:43+44 / Mark 12:36) and other Bible writers frequently mentioned that David was an 'inspired prophet of God' as is noted by these examples of prophecy and fulfillment:(Psalm 16:8 /Acts 2:25) (Psalms 32:1+2 / Romans 4:6-8) (Psalm 41:9 / John 13:18)(Psalm 69:22+23 / Romans 11:910)(Psalm 69:25+109:8/Acts1:20).

Answer 4

A:

The Book of Daniel, now recognised as a second-century novel, lionises Daniel as a great prophet and leader in both the Babylonian and the Persian empires. The book claims portrays Daniel as serving the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar from 597 to about 562 BCE, then King Belshazzar. It credits Darius the Mede with conquering Babylon, and Darius was king of Persia from 522 to 486 BCE. Daniel served Darius with distinction until his death and then served Cyrus (who was actually king of Persia before Darius, from about 560 to 530 BCE). Thus he served under four kings in the Book of Daniel.

If the above sequence seems strange, it is because the Book of Daniel was actually written about four hundred years after the events it seeks to portray, and the author had a limited grasp of what was already ancient history. There is no evidence outside the Book of Daniel that the character Daniel even existed, although it should be expected that records would exist of someone who held such exalted positions in both the Babylonian and Persian empires. It is more likely that Daniel served no king, either of Babylon or Persia.

Answer 5

There were several Daniels in the Old Testament of The Bible, and there are some probably correct passages that indicate that "the" Daniel was the son of a noble Israelite, but there is no mention of any kind that Daniel was the son of King David.

Answer 6

He is listed in 2 Samuel as the second born son of David (mother is Abigail) who was one of the six sons that were born in Hebron.

Answer 7

No they were two different people all together.
