A Prophecy Fulfilled

Commentators explain this prophecy was fulfilled over a century later. Daniel and his companions, who were of the royal line ('of the king’s seed'), were taken to Babylon and made officials in the king's court, serving under the 'master of the eunuchs' (Daniel 1:3). This event directly corresponds to Isaiah's warning to Hezekiah.
