Daniel 2:47

Daniel 2:47

45 ^aInasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.”

Daniel and His Friends Promoted

46 ^aThen King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, prostrate before Daniel, and commanded that they should present an offering ^band incense to him.

47 The king answered Daniel, and said, “Truly ^ayour God is the God of ^bgods, the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you could reveal this secret.”

48 ^aThen the king promoted Daniel ^band gave him many great gifts; and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and ^cchief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon.

49 Also Daniel petitioned the king, ^aand he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel ^bsat in the gate of the king.

<< Daniel 2:46

Daniel 2:48 >>

Lord of kings—The world power shall at last have to acknowledge this (Revelation 17:14; Revelation 19:16); even as Nebuchadnezzar, who had been the God-appointed "king of kings" (Daniel 2:37), but who had abused the trust, is constrained by God's servant to acknowledge that God is the true "Lord of kings."
