Charles Ellicott Commentary Daniel 4:10

"Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and, behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and the height thereof was great." — Daniel 4:10 (ASV)

A tree. — For this symbol of majesty, compare Ezekiel 31:3 and following. The dream of Cambyses (Herodotus 1.108) was of a similar nature.
