All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar.
BSB
ASV
All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
KJV
All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
And so similarly it happened also to Nebuchadnezzar. For indeed after he began the eighteenth year, he set up the image, just as has been said in the book before this, and its dimensions were also made known. After the year with twelve months was fulfilled, his kingdom was taken away from him so that the dream which was seen by him was fulfilled and he who had captured others, himself became a fugitive, and he who punished the Hebrews in a strange land, even he was deservedly punished in a desolate land.
King Nebuchadnezzar - With how admirable propriety is the person changed here! These six verses speaking in the third person. But in the thirty fourth, Nebuchadnezzar having recovered his reason, speaks in the first person again.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
