Commentary on Daniel 2:26

• John Calvin (Reformed), Calvin's Commentaries on Daniel 2:26: The king uses these words through his despair of all interpretation, since he perceived all the Magi in this respect without judgment and understanding; for he was at first persuaded that the Magi alone were the possessors of wisdom. Since he had asked them in vain, the error with which he was imbued, as I have said, prevented him from hoping for anything better elsewhere.
• Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Daniel 2:24-30: We have here the introduction to Daniel's declaring the dream, and the interpretation of it. I. He immediately bespoke the reversing of the sentence against the wise men of Babylon, Dan 2:24.

• John Gill (Reformed Baptist), Exposition of the Old and New Testaments on Daniel 2:26: The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar,....

• Keil & Delitzsch (Lutheran), Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on Daniel 2:26-28: Dan 2:26-28 To the question of the king, whether he was able to show the dream with its interpretation, Daniel replies by directing him from man, who is unable to accomplish such a thing, to the living God in heaven, who alone reveals secrets.
