Commentary on Daniel 1:16
The outcome—'Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse'—shows complete victory. The test became permanent policy. God's vindication of faithfulness convinced pagan authority to accommodate conscience. This represents the ideal outcome: maintaining convictions while fulfilling institutional requirements, with authority's blessing. The removal of wine (also potentially offered to idols) shows comprehensive triumph over compromise. God rewards faithfulness with enlarged freedom to obey.
