Daniel 2:48

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.

One reason for Nebuchadnezzar having been vouchsafed such a dream is here seen; namely, that Daniel might be promoted, and the captive people of God be comforted: the independent state of the captives during the exile and the alleviation of its hardships, were much due to Daniel.
