Jerusalem was Judah’s covenant capital and the site of the temple, lying far west of Babylon in the Persian Empire. Though Daniel 6:17 describes his sealed confinement in Babylon, Daniel’s earlier prayer toward Jerusalem expresses his continuing trust in the God who had chosen that city for his name.
