Context — The Second Dream Fulfilled
27Therefore, may my advice be pleasing to you, O king. Break away from your sins by doing what is right, and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed. Perhaps there will be an extension of your prosperity.”
28All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar.
29Twelve months later, as he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon,
30the king exclaimed, “Is this not Babylon the Great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?” 31While the words were still in the king’s mouth, a voice came from heaven: “It is decreed to you, King Nebuchadnezzar, that the kingdom has departed from you.Cross References

Daniel 4:29 Summary
In Daniel 4:29, we see King Nebuchadnezzar walking on the roof of his palace, likely feeling proud of his accomplishments, just like he says in Daniel 4:30. However, this pride is about to lead to a great fall, as God is about to judge him, as seen in Daniel 4:31. This reminds us that God hates pride, as seen in Proverbs 16:5, and that we should always remain humble and dependent on Him, just like Jesus taught in Matthew 5:3. By recognizing our own limitations and weaknesses, we can avoid the kind of pride that led to King Nebuchadnezzar's downfall.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the twelve-month period in Daniel 4:29?
The twelve-month period likely represents a full cycle of seasons, symbolizing the king's complete disregard for God's warning, as seen in Daniel 4:27, where Daniel advises the king to break away from his sins and show mercy to the oppressed, a call to repentance that is also echoed in Ezekiel 18:21-23.
Why was King Nebuchadnezzar walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon?
King Nebuchadnezzar was likely walking on the roof to admire his kingdom's grandeur, much like the proud statement he makes in Daniel 4:30, where he boasts about his accomplishments, similar to the pride described in Proverbs 16:18.
Is this verse a turning point in the story of King Nebuchadnezzar?
Yes, Daniel 4:29 marks a turning point, as it sets the stage for God's judgment on the king, as seen in Daniel 4:31, where a voice from heaven decrees the end of the king's reign, highlighting the importance of humility before God, as taught in 1 Peter 5:6-7.
What can we learn from King Nebuchadnezzar's actions in this verse?
We can learn that pride and a lack of humility can lead to a fall, as seen in the king's case, and that God calls us to humility and repentance, as seen in 2 Chronicles 7:14 and 1 John 1:9.
Reflection Questions
- How do I respond to warnings or convictions from God, and do I, like King Nebuchadnezzar, allow pride to harden my heart?
- In what ways can I, like Daniel, speak truth and wisdom to those around me, even if it's uncomfortable or difficult?
- What are the 'royal palaces' in my life that I've built through my own strength, and how can I surrender them to God's sovereignty?
- How can I cultivate a heart of humility and repentance, recognizing my dependence on God's mercy and grace, as seen in Psalm 51:17?
Gill's Exposition on Daniel 4:29
At the end of twelve months,.... After the dream, and the interpretation of it; which, according to Bishop Usher (s), Dean Prideaux (t), and Mr.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 4:29
At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. At the end of twelve months. This respite was granted to him to leave him without excuse. So the 120 years granted before the flood (Genesis 6:3).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Daniel 4:29
Here we see God did forbear the execution of his judgment decreed the space of one whole year, which may be upon Daniel’ s words, and he did reform somewhat, as Ahab was spared a good while upon his humiliation, ; and God would try him by giving him space of repentance, as he did to them before the flood, ; and to Jezebel, ; but it is most probable, though he may be a little astonished at the first, when he heard God’ s decree against him, yet having this respite, he grew hardened, and thought it was over, and therefore spreads his plumes and strutted in his pride as high as ever.
Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 4:29
Daniel 4:29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.Ver. 29. At the end of twelve months he walked,] scil., A year after the dream, the interpretation thereof, and the good counsel given him thereupon. It is some wonder how he could so soon forget all; but the world, with the lusts thereof, had hardened his heart. In the palace of the kingdom.] His idle walk, and his stately palace, were some occasion of his pride and fall. He walketh and stalketh, musing of nothing but his own greatness only.
Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 4:29
(29) Twelve months—i.e., counting from the time of the vision. Sufficient time for repentance was mercifully granted to the king. Palace of the kingdom of Babylon.—He had palaces in other towns. Daniel lays a stress upon the fact that this occurred in the town of Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar, the golden head of the image, was in the very centre of his dominions, in his own proud capital, when this occurred. It is needless, therefore, to assume that this was written by a person who lived a long way off from Babylon.
Cambridge Bible on Daniel 4:29
29. he was walking upon the royal palace of Babylon] ‘upon’ means on the roof of: cf. 2 Samuel 11:2.
Barnes' Notes on Daniel 4:29
At the end of twelve months - After the dream, and the interpretation - giving him ample opportunity to repent, and to reform his life, and to avoid the calamity.
Whedon's Commentary on Daniel 4:29
