From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Daniel       God is my judge, or judge of God. (1.) David's second son, "born       unto him in Hebron, of Abigail the Carmelitess" (1 Chr. 3:1). He       is called also Chileab (2 Sam. 3:3).                (2.) One of the four great prophets, although he is not once       spoken of in the Old Testament as a prophet. His life and       prophecies are recorded in the Book of Daniel. He was descended       from one of the noble families of Judah (Dan. 1:3), and was       probably born in Jerusalem about B.C. 623, during the reign of       Josiah. At the first deportation of the Jews by Nebuchadnezzar       (the kingdom of Israel had come to an end nearly a century       before), or immediately after his victory over the Egyptians at       the second battle of Carchemish, in the fourth year of the reign       of Jehoiakim (B.C. 606), Daniel and other three noble youths       were carried off to Babylon, along with part of the vessels of       the temple. There he was obliged to enter into the service of       the king of Babylon, and in accordance with the custom of the       age received the Chaldean name of Belteshazzar, i.e., "prince of       Bel," or "Bel protect the king!" His residence in Babylon was       very probably in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar, now identified       with a mass of shapeless mounds called the Kasr, on the right       bank of the river.                His training in the schools of the wise men in Babylon (Dan.       1:4) was to fit him for service to the empire. He was       distinguished during this period for his piety and his stict       observance of the Mosaic law (1:8-16), and gained the confidence       and esteem of those who were over him. His habit of attention       gained during his education in Jerusalem enabled him soon to       master the wisdom and learning of the Chaldeans, and even to       excel his compeers.                At the close of his three years of discipline and training in       the royal schools, Daniel was distinguished for his proficiency       in the "wisdom" of his day, and was brought out into public       life. He soon became known for his skill in the interpretation       of dreams (1:17; 2:14), and rose to the rank of governor of the       province of Babylon, and became "chief of the governors" (Chald.       Rab-signin) over all the wise men of Babylon. He made known and       also interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dream; and many years       afterwards, when he was now an old man, amid the alarm and       consternation of the terrible night of Belshazzar's impious       feast, he was called in at the instance of the queen-mother       (perhaps Nitocris, the daughter of Nebuchadnezzar) to interpret       the mysterious handwriting on the wall. He was rewarded with a       purple robe and elevation to the rank of "third ruler." The       place of "second ruler" was held by Belshazzar as associated       with his father, Nabonidus, on the throne (5:16). Daniel       interpreted the handwriting, and "in that night was Belshazzar       the king of the Chaldeans slain."                After the taking of Babylon, Cyrus, who was now master of all       Asia from India to the Dardanelles, placed Darius (q.v.), a       Median prince, on the throne, during the two years of whose       reign Daniel held the office of first of the "three presidents"       of the empire, and was thus practically at the head of affairs,       no doubt interesting himself in the prospects of the captive       Jews (Dan. 9), whom he had at last the happiness of seeing       restored to their own land, although he did not return with       them, but remained still in Babylon. His fidelity to God exposed       him to persecution, and he was cast into a den of lions, but was       miraculously delivered; after which Darius issued a decree       enjoining reverence for "the God of Daniel" (6:26). He       "prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the       Persian," whom he probably greatly influenced in the matter of       the decree which put an end to the Captivity (B.C. 536).                He had a series of prophetic visions vouch-safed to him which       opened up the prospect of a glorious future for the people of       God, and must have imparted peace and gladness to his spirit in       his old age as he waited on at his post till the "end of the       days." The time and circumstances of his death are not recorded.       He probably died at Susa, about eighty-five years of age.                Ezekiel, with whom he was contemporary, mentions him as a       pattern of righteousness (14:14, 20) and wisdom (28:3). (See {NEBUCHADNEZZAR}.)
