Daniel 5:6

The king's countenance was changed - Here is a very natural description of fear and terror.

1. The face grows pale;

The mind becomes greatly agitated;

Pains seize on the lower part of the back and kidneys;

A universal tremor takes place, so that the knees smite against each other;

5. And lastly, either a syncope takes place, or the cry of distress is uttered, Daniel 5:7 ; : "The king cried."
