F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Daniel 2:14-35

Wisdom Granted in the Hour of Need Daniel 2:14-35 The action of Daniel in this supreme crisis is very instructive. He reckoned absolutely on God, and in his chivalrous endeavor to save the lives of the aged men, the heads of the college in which he had been trained. He never doubted that God would be His stay. A prayer meeting was convened to ask for the merciful interposition of the God of heaven, and at its close Daniel seems to have lain down to sleep in unwavering faith. In this act we... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 2:1-49

In the second year of his reign Nebuchadnezzar, troubled by dreams and unable to sleep, called together his enchanters and sorcerers to explain his dreams one of which troubled him especially. Their difficulty was that the king could not recall the dream. It had left an impression on his mind, but none of the details remained in his memory. Of course, his demand was the unreasonable one of a despot, and yet the claims these men made, if true, ought to have enabled them to discover the dream as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 2:23

“I thank you and praise you, O you who are the God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, and has now made known to me what we desired of you. For you have made known to us the king’s matter.” Having been lost in wonder and awe at the greatness of God, he now acknowledged His goodness, and was filled with gratitude and praise. While he knew the urgency of the matter before him he knew that he must first express his gratitude for what God had done. God had revealed to him what he and... read more

Daniel 2:14-Jeremiah : . Daniel Volunteers to Explain the Dream.— To save the magicians from their doom, Daniel offers to tell the king his dream and prays to God to make the thing clear to him. Daniel 2:14 . Arioch: Eri-Aku (“ Servant of the Moon-god,” see on Daniel 2:17), an old Sumerian (p. 51) name which, according to Sayce, was not in use in the time of Nebuchadnezzar.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 2:23

Here he gives his God another distinguishing title from all the gods of the heathen, he calls him the God of his fathers, meaning the covenant made with Abraham, &c., to whom and their seed God revealed his saving knowledge, which he did not to the heathen. God is the God of all by the kingdom of his power, but the God of his church only according to the kingdom of his grace. Thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter; in which words he intimates a twofold privilege; the one that,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Daniel 2:19-23

HOMILETICSSECT. VI.—THE THANKSGIVING (Chap. Daniel 2:19-23)The part of faith not only to pray but to look out for an answer. Daniel prayed in the firm expectation that, if for God’s glory, an answer would be granted. When the answer was given in the vision vouchsafed to him, he was in no doubt about its being such. The vision carried with it the proof of its divine origin. Revelations from God bear their evidence in their own bosom. No need for Daniel to wait till the king identifies his dream.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Daniel 2:1-49

Chapter 2Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep was taken from him. Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to show the king his dream. So they came and they stood before the king. And the king said unto them, I've dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream. So the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Syriac ( Daniel 2:1-4... read more

Daniel 2:20-23Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever.Daniel’s Prayer of ThanksgivingSuch a prayer sheds a flood of light upon the character of the man who utters it. It was addressed to the “God of Heaven,” and that title has a peculiar significance when the facts of Daniel’s history are taken into account. He had been brought up among an idolatrous people, who worshipped “gods many and lords many,” the sun, moon, and planets, and a host of inferior deities.... read more
