John Gill Commentary Daniel 4:2

"It hath seemed good unto me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God hath wrought toward me." — Daniel 4:2 (ASV)

I thought it good Or, "fair" ^F25 and beautiful, highly becoming me, what was my duty, and what might be profitable and beneficial to others, and make for the glory of the great God of heaven and earth.

to show the signs and wonders the high God has wrought toward me; to declare by writing the wonderful things God, who is above all, the most high God, had done unto him, by giving him a wonderful dream, exactly describing his future case and condition, and then as wonderful an interpretation of it, and which was as wonderfully fulfilled, and, after all, in a wonderful manner restoring him to the exercise of his reason, and the administration of his kingdom, after both had departed from him.
