I believe you mean Belshazzar, not Nebuchadnezzar?

In chapter 5, Daniel revealed that Belshazzar would be murdered when he (with God's help) translated the handwriting on the wall...

There is zero evidence in the text that Daniel was complicit in the murder.

you know of the concept of "subtext" right? also of the idea of "getting the reader to have sympathy with the character"? neither happened for me, i was sus on him from the get go and especially because watchers told him things, like he was being handed the keys to the kingdom by those who decide

for me "watchers" is a red flag word because it almost never appears in the bible meaning good angels, almost always fallen ones

Probably due to my very high view of Scripture, I perceive Daniel to be an honorable man. Consider, for instance, how he refused to compromise his principles to the point of being thrown into a den of hungry lions...😳

That takes considerable moral backbone, something I seriously doubt a murderer posesses.🤔

i will have to try and read it again... if i muddled those identities that may change my view of it
