Daniel 1:21

Now Daniel lived on until the first ¹  year of Cyrus the king.

And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.

And Daniel continued until the first year of Cyrus the king.

Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus’s reign.

Daniel continued in the king's service until the first year in the reign of King Cyrus.

And Daniel went on till the first year of King Cyrus.

And Daniel continued there until the first year of King Cyrus.

Thus Daniel continued until the first year of King Cyrus.

Now Daniel lived on until the first ¹  year of Cyrus the king.

¹ sn The Persian king Cyrus’ first year in control of Babylon was 539 B.C. Daniel actually lived beyond the first year of Cyrus, as is clear from 10:1. The purpose of the statement in 1:21 is merely to say that Daniel’s life spanned the entire period of the neo-Babylonian empire. His life span also included the early years of the Persian control of Babylon. However, by that time his age was quite advanced; he probably died sometime in the 530’s B.C.
