Daniel 4:9 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 4:9

O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians
So he called him, either because he excelled them in knowledge, and was greater than they, as Jacchiades; though not of their rank and order, which Daniel would have scorned to have been among, and reckoned of; so that this would have been no compliment, but a grief unto him; or because he was appointed by the king chief over them, and even over their governors; (See Gill on Daniel 2:48): because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee;
(See Gill on Daniel 4:8); and no secret troubleth thee;
any ways perplexes thy mind to find it out; it is easy to thee to come at; it gives thee no manner of trouble to get knowledge of it; there is no secret hidden from thee; all is plain before thee, and with the utmost facility canst thou reveal it: tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen;
that is, the meaning of them; for the king remembered this his dream, and afterwards tells it very particularly: and the interpretation of it;
it may be rendered, "that is, the interpretation of it" F8; for that only was what the king wanted.

Daniel 4:9 In-Context

7 Alors vinrent les magiciens, les astrologues, les Chaldéens et les devins. Je leur dis le songe, et ils ne m'en donnèrent point l'explication.
8 En dernier lieu, se présenta devant moi Daniel, nommé Beltschatsar d'après le nom de mon dieu, et qui a en lui l'esprit des dieux saints. Je lui dis le songe:
9 Beltschatsar, chef des magiciens, qui as en toi, je le sais, l'esprit des dieux saints, et pour qui aucun secret n'est difficile, donne-moi l'explication des visions que j'ai eues en songe.
10 Voici les visions de mon esprit, pendant que j'étais sur ma couche. Je regardais, et voici, il y avait au milieu de la terre un arbre d'une grande hauteur.
11 Cet arbre était devenu grand et fort, sa cime s'élevait jusqu'aux cieux, et on le voyait des extrémités de toute la terre.
