Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 4:26

And whereas they commanded - The watchers, Daniel 4:15. Compare Daniel 4:17.To leave the stump of the tree roots - Or, to leave roots to the stump of the tree; that is, it was not to be dug up, or wholly destroyed, but vitality was to be left in the ground. The Chaldee here is the same as in Daniel 4:15, “leave the stump of his roots.”Thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee - That is, thou shalt not die under this calamity, but after it has passed away shalt be restored to authority. It might have... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 4:27

Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee - Daniel was permitted to see not only the fact that this calamity impended over the king, but the cause of it, and as that cause was his proud and sinful heart, he supposed that the judgment might be averted if the king would reform his life. If the “cause” were removed, he inferred, not unreasonably, that there was a hope that the calamity might be avoided. We cannot but admire here the boldness and fidelity of Daniel, who not only... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 4:20-22

Daniel 4:20-22. The tree that thou sawest is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong Princes and great men are frequently represented in Scripture by fair and flourishing trees. So the king of Assyria is described, Ezekiel 31:3-8: compare Isaiah 10:34; Zechariah 11:2. Thy greatness is grown and reacheth unto heaven As near as human greatness can do. He shows the king his present prosperous state in the glass of his own dream: see Daniel 4:11. And thy dominion to the end of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 4:24-26

Daniel 4:24-26. This is the interpretation, O king, &c. We may observe that Daniel informs the king with the greatest tenderness, and most respectful terms, of the sad reverse of condition that was to happen to him. They shall drive thee from men In the Chaldee and Hebrew the plural active, they shall do, signifies no more than, thus it shall be, be the cause what it may. The meaning seems to be, that Nebuchadnezzar should be punished with insanity, which should so deprave his... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 4:27

Daniel 4:27. Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee These words Daniel adds out of love to the king, if perhaps his complying with the advice given might turn away this dreadful stroke from him, or at least might give the king some hopes of a mitigation of the calamity. And break off thy sins by righteousness Cease to do evil, and learn to do well. Change thy principles and practices; do justly and love mercy; and instead of oppressing the poor, have compassion upon... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Daniel 4:1-37

Nebuchadnezzar’s madness (4:1-37)In this chapter Nebuchadnezzar recounts, for the benefit of his subjects, an experience that humbled his pride and brought him to acknowledge Yahweh as the one and only true God (4:1-3). It all began when Nebuchadnezzar had a puzzling dream. After getting no help from his Babylonian wise men, he told it to Daniel in the hope of discovering its meaning (4-9).The first thing that Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream was a giant tree. It towered over the world and... read more

"Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of thy tranquility."DANIEL'S GOOD COUNSEL TO THE KINGThe thought here is not that the king's changing from his sins might avert the experience that had been decreed for him, but that the onset of it might be delayed, referred to here as, "a lengthening of thy tranquility."Of course, "If righteousness is merely... read more
