Changes in database configuration do not take effect

In laravel 5, I created Middleware that changes the database credentials:

config([ 'database.connections.mysql.database' => 'someDB', 'database.connections.mysql.username' => 'someUser', 'database.connections.mysql.password' => 'somePass' ]);

Using a route that makes use of the middleware, I tried to output the current database within the controller:

exit(config('database.connections.mysql.database'));

The information is correctly set to 'someDB'. When i use eloquent in the same function it tries to contact the 'old' database and not the 'someDB' settings I've set in the middleware.

Any thoughts about this?
