Commentary on Daniel 2:10

Theological / Devotional

Not a man. The Chaldeans were compelled to acknowledge their inability to reveal the dream. They told the king that he was asking for something that was beyond human power to reveal, and that no king had ever made such an unreasonable request of any of his subjects.

King, lord, nor ruler. Literally, “king, great and powerful.” “Great king” (see 2 Kings 18:28) is an old Babylonian title. Such an expression as “Great King. Mighty King, King of Assyria [or, of Babylon]” is common in the inscriptions.
