**The whole BDB entry:** later דָּנִיֵּאל n.pr.m. (cf. Ew§ 45 d; Ēl is my judge; on a possible connexion with Zend dânu, wise, or wisdom cf. CheOP 107; v.

Δαλουια; ‖ 2 S 3:3 כִּלְאָב, 𝔊 Δαλουια KloSm proposes דֹּדִיָּה & in Ch דֹּדִיאֵל, but grounds precarious. דָּנִיֵּאל priest of the line of Ithamar Ezr 8:2 Ne 10:7. דָּנִאֵל a great sage Ez 28:3; classed with Noah and Job as models of righteousness Ez 14:14, 20; perhaps the same as דָּנִיֵּאל, one of the noble young men taken into captivity by Nebuchadrezzar according to Dn 1:1–6, the hero of the book of Daniel, Dn 1:6 + 22 times (also frequently in Aramaic section).
