Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 4:1-37

The three first verses of this chapter in Theodotian and the Vulgate, are appended to the third chapter; but seem to stand better as in the English, being the introduction to the dream. Daniel 4:5 . The visions of my head troubled me. The king believed that his dream was portentous of future events. Daniel 4:7 . The magicians, as in Daniel 2:2. Daniel 4:10 . I saw a tree. See the dream of Cambyses, in the note on Isaiah 4:2. Daniel 4:13 . A watcher and a holy one came down from... read more

Daniel 4:1-18Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people.The Proclamation of Peace to all NationsHow changed the spirit and deportment of Nebuchadnezzar from what they were on the plains of Dura. Then, we saw him exulting in the pride of power, and girt with the terrors of tyranny. Then, we saw him in a passion, hot as the furnace he had kindled. Now, nothing but thoughts of peace are in his heart, and the law of kindness is on his tongue. Then, we saw him erecting an image to his idol. Now, we... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Daniel 4:8

Dan 4:8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, [saying], Ver. 8. But at last Daniel came in before me. ] And why "at last?" Why was he not sooner sent for? If the soothsayers and sorcerers could have served the turn, Daniel had never been sought to. This is the guise of graceless men; they run not to God till all other refuges fail them. According... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Daniel 4:9

Dan 4:9 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof. Ver. 9. Because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. ] The spirit of divination and prophecy. And no secret troubleth thee. ] Chald., Puts thee to business.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 4:8

8. How remarkably similar is this to the account in chapter ii! Brown, in his recent Hebrew Lexicon, objects to the connection of the name Belteshazzar with Bel, as “inexplicable;” but see note Daniel 1:6-7. Vigouroux ( Dictionnaire, 5:1893) gives a number of abbreviations precisely similar to this in which the first term the divine name is omitted. The express statement of this verse, that Daniel was named after Nebuchadnezzar’s favorite god, seems to exclude such derivations as those... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 4:9

9. Daniel is here recognized as master of the magicians. (See note Daniel 2:48.) The otherwise unaccountable failure of the king to call on him first of all, instead of sending out a decree (Daniel 4:6) to bring before him all the other magicians, may perhaps be explained as a mere matter of literary form on the part of the narrator, the effect of Daniel’s success being heightened by the previous unsuccessful attempts of all the other wise men. However, if the king, through an attempt to... read more
