Daniel 2
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
2 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams by which his spirit was troubled and agitated and his sleep went from him.
2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, the enchanters or soothsayers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans [diviners], to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
3 And the king said to them, I had a dream and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.
4 Then said the Chaldeans [diviners] to the king in Aramaic [the Syrian language], O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
5 The king answered the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me! And the decree goes forth from me and I say it with all emphasis: if you do not make known to me the dream with its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces and your houses shall be made a dunghill!
6 But if you show the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. So show me the dream and the interpretation of it.
7 They answered again, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.
8 The king answered, I know with certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see the thing is gone from me and because you see that my word [against you] is sure:
9 If you will not make known to me the dream, there is but one sentence for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me [hoping to delay your execution] until the time is changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can tell me the interpretation of it.
10 The Chaldeans [diviners] answered before the king and said, There is not a man on earth who can show the king this matter, for no king, lord, or ruler has [ever] asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or Chaldean.
11 A rare and weighty thing indeed the king requires! None except the gods can reveal it to the king, and their dwelling is not with [human] flesh.
12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.
13 So the decree went forth that the wise men were to be killed, and [the officers] sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
14 Then Daniel returned an answer which was full of prudence and wisdom to Arioch the captain or executioner of the king’s guard, who had gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.
15 He said to Arioch, the king’s captain, Why is the decree so urgent and hasty from the king? Then Arioch explained the matter to Daniel.
16 And Daniel went in and desired of the king that he would set a date and give him time, and he would show the king the interpretation.
17 Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,
18 So that they would desire and request mercy of the God of heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night, and Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 Daniel answered, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever! For wisdom and might are His!
21 He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding!(A)
22 He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him!(B)
23 I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers, Who has given me wisdom and might and has made known to me now what we desired of You, for You have made known to us the solution to the king’s problem.
24 Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus to him: Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon! Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.
25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste and said thus to him: I have found a man of the captives of Judah who will make known to the king the interpretation [of his dream].
26 The king said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen and the interpretation of it?
27 Daniel answered the king, The [mysterious] secret which the king has demanded neither the wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor astrologers can show the king,
28 But there is a God in heaven Who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what it is that shall be in the latter days (at the end of days). Your dream and the visions in your head upon your bed are these:
29 As for you, O king, as you were lying upon your bed thoughts came into your mind about what should come to pass hereafter, and He Who reveals secrets was making known to you what shall come to pass.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than anyone else living, but in order that the interpretation may be made known to the king and that you may know the thoughts of your heart and mind.
31 You, O king, saw, and behold, [there was] a great image. This image which was mighty and of exceedingly great brightness stood before you, and the appearance of it was frightening and terrible.
32 As for this [a]image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
33 Its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay [the baked clay of the potter].
34 As you looked, a [b]Stone was cut out without human hands, which smote the image on its feet of iron and [baked] clay [of the potter] and broke them to pieces.(C)
35 Then the iron, the [baked] clay [of the potter], the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken and crushed together and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors, and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them could be found. And the Stone that smote the image became a great mountain or rock and filled the whole earth.
36 This was the dream, and we will tell the interpretation of it to the king.
37 You, O king, are king of the [earthly] kings to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the might, and the glory.(D)
38 And wherever the children of men dwell, and the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens—He has given them into your hand and has made you to rule over them all. You [king of Babylon] are the head of gold.
39 And after you shall arise another kingdom [the Medo-Persian], inferior to you, and still a third kingdom of bronze [Greece under Alexander the Great] which shall bear rule over all the earth.
40 And the fourth kingdom [Rome] shall be strong as iron, since iron breaks to pieces and subdues all things; and like iron which crushes, it shall break and crush all these.(E)
41 And as you saw the feet and toes, partly of [baked] clay [of the potter] and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it some of the firmness and strength of iron, just as you saw the iron mixed with miry [earthen] clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of [baked] clay [of the potter], so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle and broken.
43 And as you saw the iron mixed with miry and earthen clay, so they shall mingle themselves in the seed of men [in marriage bonds]; but they will not hold together [for two such elements or ideologies can never harmonize], even as iron does not mingle itself with clay.
44 And in the days of these [final ten] kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people; but it shall break and crush and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever.(F)
45 Just 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 shall come to pass hereafter. The dream is certain and the interpretation of it is sure.
46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and paid homage to Daniel [as a great prophet of the highest God] and ordered that an offering and incense should be offered up to him [in honor of his God].
47 The king answered Daniel, Of a truth your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a Revealer of secret mysteries, seeing that you could reveal this secret mystery!(G)
48 Then the king made Daniel great and gave him many great gifts, and he made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.
49 And Daniel requested of the king and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon. But Daniel remained in the gate of the king [at the king’s court].
Footnotes
- Daniel 2:32 Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream outlines the further history of Gentile world power. The four metals of which the image was made represented four successive empires, each with the power to possess the whole inhabited earth—though each stopped short of that. They were: (1) Babylon (Jer. 51:7) (2) Medo-Persia (3) Greece under Alexander (4) Rome. The latter power was divided first into the two legs, corresponding to the eastern and western Roman empires, and then (after a very long time apparently) into the ten toes, a confederacy made up largely of European nations (Dan. 7:24-27).
- Daniel 2:34 The eternal kingdom of God, the Messianic kingdom, will extend over “the whole earth,” and all who reject Jesus, the Messiah, the Stone, will be crushed. See also Ps. 118:22-23; Isa. 8:14; Matt. 21:44; Luke 2:34; 20:18; I Pet. 2:3-8.

Ang Panaginip ni Nebucadnezar
2 Noong ikalawang taon ng paghahari ni Nebucadnezar, siya ay nagkaroon ng masamang panaginip. Kaya siya'y nabagabag at hindi makatulog. 2 Dahil dito, ipinatawag niya ang lahat ng salamangkero, enkantador, mangkukulam, at astrologo upang ipaliwanag ang kanyang panaginip. 3 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Nanaginip ako at ito ang bumabagabag sa akin hanggang ngayon. Ipaliwanag nga ninyo ang kahulugan ng aking panaginip.”
4 Sumagot ang mga astrologo sa wikang Aramaico,[a] “Mabuhay ang hari! Sabihin po ninyo ang panaginip at ipapaliwanag namin.”
5 Sinabi ng hari sa mga astrologo, “Ipinag-uutos kong sabihin muna ninyo ang aking panaginip saka ninyo ipaliwanag. Kung hindi, ipapapatay ko kayo at ipawawasak ang inyong mga tahanan. 6 Kapag nasabi naman ninyo at naipaliwanag ang aking panaginip, gagantimpalaan at pararangalan ko kayo. Kaya sabihin na ninyo at ipaliwanag sa akin ang aking panaginip.”
7 Muli silang sumagot, “Mahal na hari, sabihin po ninyo ang panaginip at ipapaliwanag namin.”
8 Sinabi naman ng hari, “Alam kong pinahahaba lang ninyo ang oras dahil sa sinabi ko sa inyo 9 na iisa ang hatol ninyo kapag hindi ninyo nasabi at naipaliwanag sa akin ang aking panaginip. Nagkaisa kayong magsinungaling sa akin sa pag-aakalang magbabago pa ang aking isip sa paglipas ng oras. Sabihin ninyo ang aking panaginip at saka ako maniniwalang maipapaliwanag nga ninyo iyon.”
10 Sumagot ang mga astrologo, “Wala pong tao sa daigdig na makakagawa ng iniuutos ninyo. Wala ring hari, gaano man ang kapangyarihan niya, na nag-utos ng ganyan sa sinumang salamangkero, manghuhula, o astrologo. 11 Napakahirap gawin ng iniuutos ninyo. Mga diyos lamang ang makakagawa niyan at hindi sila namumuhay na kasama ng tao.”
12 Dahil sa sagot na ito, nagalit ng husto ang hari kaya't ipinag-utos niyang patayin ang lahat ng mga tagapayo sa buong Babilonia. 13 Saklaw ng kautusang ito ang lahat ng matatalinong tao sa kaharian pati si Daniel at ang kanyang mga kaibigan.
Inihayag ng Diyos kay Daniel ang Panaginip
14 Kaya, maingat na kinausap ni Daniel si Arioc, ang kapitan ng mga tanod ng hari na siyang inutusan upang patayin ang mga matatalinong tagapayo ng Babilonia. 15 Tinanong niya ito, “Bakit po nag-utos ng ganito kabigat[b] ang mahal na hari?” At sinabi naman sa kanya ni Arioc ang dahilan.
16 Dahil dito, nagpunta sa hari si Daniel at nakiusap na bigyan pa siya ng panahon at ipapaliwanag niya ang panaginip nito. 17 Matapos payagan, umuwi si Daniel at sinabi kina Hananias, Misael at Azarias ang pangyayari. 18 Hiniling niyang sama-sama silang manalangin sa Diyos ng kalangitan tungkol sa hiwagang iyon upang hindi sila patayin kasama ng mga matatalinong tagapayo ng Babilonia. 19 Nang gabing iyon, sa pamamagitan ng pangitain ay inihayag ng Diyos kay Daniel ang nasabing hiwaga. Kaya't pinuri niya ang Diyos ng kalangitan. 20 Ang sabi ni Daniel:
“Purihin magpakailanman ang pangalan ng Diyos,
pagkat siya'y marunong at makapangyarihang lubos.
21 Siyang nakakapagbago ng mga kapanahunan,
naglalagay at nag-aalis ng mga hari sa luklukan;
siyang nagbibigay ng karunungan sa matatalino at kaalaman sa may pang-unawa.
22 Naghahayag ng mga lihim at kahiwagaan;
nakatatalos sa mga nasa kadiliman,
sapagkat ang kaliwanagan sa kanya'y nananahan.
23 Pinupuri ko kayo at pinasasalamatan, O Diyos ng aking mga magulang,
dahil sa kaloob ninyo sa aking lakas at karunungan,
ngayo'y ibinigay ninyo sa akin ang aking kahilingan,
panaginip ng hari sa ami'y ipinaalam.”
Ipinaliwanag ni Daniel ang Panaginip ng Hari
24 Pagkatapos, bumalik si Daniel kay Arioc, ang opisyal na inutusan upang patayin ang mga tagapayo ng Babilonia. Sinabi niya, “Huwag mo munang patayin ang mga matatalinong tao. Samahan mo ako sa hari at ipapaliwanag ko ang kanyang panaginip.”
25 Dali-daling iniharap ni Arioc si Daniel sa hari. Sinabi niya, “Mahal na hari, narito po ang isa sa mga dinalang-bihag mula sa Juda. Siya po ang makapagpapaliwanag sa inyong panaginip.”
26 Si Daniel na tinatawag na Beltesazar ay tinanong ng hari, “Masasabi at maipapaliwanag mo ba sa akin ang aking panaginip?”
27 Sumagot si Daniel, “Ang hiwagang gustong alamin ng hari ay hindi maipapaliwanag ng sinumang matalinong tagapayo, enkantador, salamangkero, o manghuhula. 28 Ngunit mayroon pong isang Diyos sa kalangitan na naghahayag ng mga hiwaga at ipinakita niya sa Haring Nebucadnezar ang mga mangyayari sa mga darating na panahon. Ito ang panaginip na inyong nakita habang kayo'y natutulog:
29 “Mahal na hari, ang panaginip ninyo ay tungkol sa mangyayari sa hinaharap at ipinapaalam ito sa inyo ng Diyos na nakakaalam ng lahat ng hiwaga. 30 Ang hiwagang ito ay ipinaalam sa akin, hindi dahil ako'y higit na matalino kaysa iba, kundi upang ipaliwanag ito sa inyo at upang maunawaan ninyo ang gumugulo sa inyong isipan.
31 “Mahal na hari, ang nakita ninyo ay isang malaki at nakakasilaw na rebulto. Nakatayo ito sa inyong harapan at nakakatakot pagmasdan. 32 Ang ulo nito ay lantay na ginto, at pilak ang dibdib at mga bisig. Tanso naman ang tiyan at mga hita nito. 33 Ang mga binti ay bakal at ang mga paa ay pinaghalong bakal at putik. 34 Habang pinagmamasdan ninyo ito, may batong natipak sa bundok na bumagsak sa mga paa ng rebulto at nadurog ang mga paa. 35 Pagkatapos, nadurog ding lahat ang bakal, putik, tanso, pilak, at ginto. Naging parang ipa ito at tinangay ng hangin at walang naiwan kahit bakas. Samantala, ang tipak ng batong bumagsak dito ay naging isang napakalaking bundok na pumuno sa buong daigdig.
36 “Mahal na hari, iyan po ang inyong panaginip, at narito naman ang kahulugan: 37 Kayo po ang pinakadakila sa lahat ng mga hari. At kayo po ay pinagkalooban ng Diyos sa langit ng kaharian, kapangyarihan, lakas, at karangalan. 38 Niloob ng Diyos na masakop ninyo ang lahat ng tao, hayop, at ibon sa lahat ng dako. Kayo ang ulong gintong iyon. 39 Ang susunod sa inyo ay ang ikalawang kaharian na mas mahina kaysa inyo. Pagkatapos, lilitaw ang pangatlong kaharian na isinasagisag ng tanso, at sasakupin nito ang buong daigdig. 40 Ang pang-apat na kaharian ay sintigas ng bakal. Katulad ng nagagawa ng bakal, dudurugin ng kahariang ito ang buong daigdig. 41 Ang kahulugan naman ng nakita ninyong mga paa na yari sa bakal at putik ay ito: mahahati ang kaharian ngunit mananatili ang tigas ng bakal sapagkat ito'y nakahalo sa putik. 42 Ganito naman ang kahulugan ng mga paang yari sa pinaghalong bakal at putik: May bahagi itong matibay at may bahagi namang marupok. 43 Ang kahulugan ng pinagsamang bakal at putik ay pag-aasawa ng magkakaibang lahi; ngunit hindi ito magtatagal kung paanong hindi maaaring paghaluin ang bakal at putik. 44 Sa panahon ng mga haring iyon, ang Diyos sa kalangitan ay magtatatag ng isang kahariang hindi maibabagsak kailanman, ni masasakop ninuman. Dudurugin nito at ganap na wawasakin ang iba pang kaharian, at mananatili ito magpakailanman. Kaya't hindi na makakabangon ang mga iyon kahit kailan. 45 Katulad ito ng inyong nakitang tipak ng bato na dumurog sa rebultong yari sa bakal, putik, tanso, pilak, at ginto. Mahal na hari, ang mangyayari sa hinaharap ay ipinapaalam na sa inyo ng dakilang Diyos. Ito po ang inyong panaginip at tiyak ang kahulugan nito.”
Ginantimpalaan si Daniel
46 Yumukod si Haring Nebucadnezar na lapat ang mukha sa lupa at nagbigay galang kay Daniel. Pagkatapos, iniutos niyang handugan ito ng insenso at iba pang alay. 47 Sinabi niya kay Daniel, “Tunay na ang Diyos mo ang pinakadakila sa lahat ng mga diyos at Panginoon ng mga hari. Siya ang tagapagpahayag ng mga hiwaga kaya naipahayag mo ang hiwagang ito.” 48 Pinarangalan ng hari si Daniel at binigyan ng napakaraming handog. Siya ay ginawa nitong tagapamahala sa buong lalawigan ng Babilonia at pinuno ng lahat ng mga tagapayo ng Babilonia. 49 Hiniling naman ni Daniel sa hari na sina Shadrac, Meshac at Abednego ay gawing tagapangasiwa sa Babilonia upang siya'y makapanatili sa palasyo ng hari.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream
2 In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams;(A) his mind was troubled(B) and he could not sleep.(C) 2 So the king summoned the magicians,(D) enchanters, sorcerers(E) and astrologers[a](F) to tell him what he had dreamed.(G) When they came in and stood before the king, 3 he said to them, “I have had a dream that troubles(H) me and I want to know what it means.[b]”
4 Then the astrologers answered the king,[c](I) “May the king live forever!(J) Tell your servants the dream, and we will interpret it.”
5 The king replied to the astrologers, “This is what I have firmly decided:(K) If you do not tell me what my dream was and interpret it, I will have you cut into pieces(L) and your houses turned into piles of rubble.(M) 6 But if you tell me the dream and explain it, you will receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor.(N) So tell me the dream and interpret it for me.”
7 Once more they replied, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will interpret it.”
8 Then the king answered, “I am certain that you are trying to gain time, because you realize that this is what I have firmly decided: 9 If you do not tell me the dream, there is only one penalty(O) for you. You have conspired to tell me misleading and wicked things, hoping the situation will change. So then, tell me the dream, and I will know that you can interpret it for me.”(P)
10 The astrologers(Q) answered the king, “There is no one on earth who can do what the king asks! No king, however great and mighty, has ever asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or astrologer.(R) 11 What the king asks is too difficult. No one can reveal it to the king except the gods,(S) and they do not live among humans.”
12 This made the king so angry and furious(T) that he ordered the execution(U) of all the wise men of Babylon. 13 So the decree was issued to put the wise men to death, and men were sent to look for Daniel and his friends to put them to death.(V)
14 When Arioch, the commander of the king’s guard, had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon, Daniel spoke to him with wisdom and tact. 15 He asked the king’s officer, “Why did the king issue such a harsh decree?” Arioch then explained the matter to Daniel. 16 At this, Daniel went in to the king and asked for time, so that he might interpret the dream for him.
17 Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.(W) 18 He urged them to plead for mercy(X) from the God of heaven(Y) concerning this mystery,(Z) so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 During the night the mystery(AA) was revealed to Daniel in a vision.(AB) Then Daniel praised the God of heaven(AC) 20 and said:
“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;(AD)
wisdom and power(AE) are his.
21 He changes times and seasons;(AF)
he deposes(AG) kings and raises up others.(AH)
He gives wisdom(AI) to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.(AJ)
22 He reveals deep and hidden things;(AK)
he knows what lies in darkness,(AL)
and light(AM) dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:(AN)
You have given me wisdom(AO) and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king.(AP)”
Daniel Interprets the Dream
24 Then Daniel went to Arioch,(AQ) whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, “Do not execute the wise men of Babylon. Take me to the king, and I will interpret his dream for him.”
25 Arioch took Daniel to the king at once and said, “I have found a man among the exiles(AR) from Judah(AS) who can tell the king what his dream means.”
26 The king asked Daniel (also called Belteshazzar),(AT) “Are you able to tell me what I saw in my dream and interpret it?”
27 Daniel replied, “No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about,(AU) 28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.(AV) He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come.(AW) Your dream and the visions that passed through your mind(AX) as you were lying in bed(AY) are these:(AZ)
29 “As Your Majesty was lying there, your mind turned to things to come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen.(BA) 30 As for me, this mystery has been revealed(BB) to me, not because I have greater wisdom than anyone else alive, but so that Your Majesty may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind.
31 “Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue,(BC) awesome(BD) in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands.(BE) It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed(BF) them.(BG) 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away(BH) without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain(BI) and filled the whole earth.(BJ)
36 “This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king.(BK) 37 Your Majesty, you are the king of kings.(BL) The God of heaven has given you dominion(BM) and power and might and glory; 38 in your hands he has placed all mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds in the sky. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all.(BN) You are that head of gold.
39 “After you, another kingdom will arise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth.(BO) 40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others.(BP) 41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.
44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush(BQ) all those kingdoms(BR) and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.(BS) 45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock(BT) cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands(BU)—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.
“The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future.(BV) The dream is true(BW) and its interpretation is trustworthy.”
46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell prostrate(BX) before Daniel and paid him honor and ordered that an offering(BY) and incense be presented to him. 47 The king said to Daniel, “Surely your God is the God of gods(BZ) and the Lord of kings(CA) and a revealer of mysteries,(CB) for you were able to reveal this mystery.(CC)”
48 Then the king placed Daniel in a high(CD) position and lavished many gifts on him. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and placed him in charge of all its wise men.(CE) 49 Moreover, at Daniel’s request the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego administrators over the province of Babylon,(CF) while Daniel himself remained at the royal court.(CG)
