Daniele 2:37

Listen to Daniele 2:37
37 Tu, o re, sei il re dei re; conciossiachè l’Iddio del cielo ti abbia dato regno, potenza, e forza, e gloria.

Daniele 2:37 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 2:37

Thou, O king, art a king of kings
Having many kings subject and tributary to him, or would have; as the kings of Judah, Ammon, Moab, and others, and who were even his captives and prisoners; see ( Jeremiah 52:32 ) . Jarchi and Saadiah join this with the next clause, "the God of heaven", and interpret it of him thus, thou, O King Nebuchadnezzar, "the King of kings, who is the God of heaven, hath given unto thee"; so some in the Talmud understand it of God F11; but this is contrary to the accents: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength,
and glory;
that is, a very powerful, strong, and glorious kingdom, famous for its mighty armies, strong fortresses, and great riches, from all which the king had great honour and glory; and this he had not by his ancestors, or his own military skill and prowess, but by the favour and gift of God.

Daniele 2:37 In-Context

35 Allora furono insieme tritati il ferro, l’argilla, il rame, l’argento, e l’oro, e divennero come la pula della aie di state, e il vento li portò via, e non si trovò luogo alcuno per loro; e la pietra che avea percossa la statua divenne un gran monte, ed empiè tutta la terra.
36 Quest’è il sogno; ora ne diremo l’interpretazione davanti al re.
37 Tu, o re, sei il re dei re; conciossiachè l’Iddio del cielo ti abbia dato regno, potenza, e forza, e gloria.
38 E dovunque dimorano i figliuoli degli uomini, le bestie della campagna, e gli uccelli del cielo, egli te li ha dati in mano, e ti ha fatto signore sopra essi tutti. Tu sei quel capo d’oro.
39 E dopo te sorgerà un altro regno, più basso del tuo; e poi anche un terzo regno, ch’è quel del rame, il quale signoreggerà sopra tutta la terra.
