This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
A God of gods; the greatest and supreme God of all the world, above Baal, or Bel, and above all other gods.
A Lord of kings; the word is Maron or Maran, which in the Syriac signifies Lord, or high Lord, seeing he is the highest King of all the earth. He makes, overrules, and pulls down whom he will, 1Ti_6:15 Rev_17:14 19:16: by this he gathers that God is a
revealer of secrets, Isa_48:3,5-8. A revealer of secrets; is supreme God, because he knows, and foreknows, and decrees all things future.
Seeing thou couldest reveal this secret; therefore Daniel had it from God, who revealed it to him, which here the king confesseth.
