2:37 “You, O king, are the king of kings. The God of heaven has granted you sovereignty, power, strength, and honor.

Daniel 4:30

4:30 The king uttered these words: “Is this not the great Babylon that I have built for a royal residence ¹  by my own mighty strength ²  and for my majestic honor?”

Daniel 5:18

5:18 As for you, O king, the most high God bestowed on your father Nebuchadnezzar a kingdom, greatness, honor, and majesty. ³ 

Daniel 5:20

5:20 And when his mind ⁴  became arrogant ⁵  and his spirit filled with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and his honor was removed from him.

[4:30]  ¹ tn Aram “house.”

[4:30]  ² tn Aram “by the might of my strength.”

[5:18]  ³ tn Or “royal greatness and majestic honor,” if the four terms are understood as a double hendiadys.

[5:20]  ⁴ tn Aram “heart.”

[5:20]  ⁵ sn The point of describing Nebuchadnezzar as arrogant is that he had usurped divine prerogatives, and because of his immense arrogance God had dealt decisively with him.
