Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 5:18

_ _ God gave — It was not his own birth or talents which gave him the vast empire, as he thought. To make him unlearn his proud thought was the object of God’s visitation on him.

_ _ majesty — in the eyes of his subjects.

_ _ glory — from his victories.

_ _ honour — from the enlargement and decoration of the city.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Daniel 5:18

O thou king, the most high God gave (l) Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:

(l) Before he read the writing, he declares to the king his great ingratitude toward God, who could not be moved to give him the glory, considering God's wonderful work toward his grandfather, and so shows that he does not sin from ignorance but from malice.
