Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
The king' s countenance was changed - Here is a very natural description of fear and terror.
1.The face grows pale;
2.The mind becomes greatly agitated;
3.Pains seize on the lower part of the back and kidneys;
4.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."
