Haydock's commentary
Down. His priests pretended that he eat, (Daniel xiv. 11.) and a woman of their choice slept in the most retired part of the temple. (Herodotus i. 181.)
The prophet derides this notion. The idol, or rather his votaries, (Haydock) shall be forced to let go the Israelites. (Calmet)
Fall, by means of Cyrus and of Darius, chap. l. 3. (Haydock)
