Daniel 9
Daniel learned of the seventy year duration of the Babylonian captivity by reading the record of the prophecies of Jeremiah. Daniel was either too young or else already in Babylon when those prophecies are made to have had a first-hand knowledge of them. I believe those progress were made early enough that they preceded Daniel being taken into captivity.
I love the sentiment that we do not ask the Lord for things based on or righteousness but based on His mercy.
