Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 4:29

29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.

Here we see God did forbear the execution of his judgment decreed the space of one whole year, which may be upon Daniels words, and he did reform somewhat, as Ahab was spared a good while upon his humiliation, 1 King. 21.27. and God would try him by giving him space of Repentance, as he did to them before the flood, Gen. 6.3. and to Iezebel, Rev. 2.21. but it is most probable though he may be a little astonied at the first, when he heard Gods Decree against him; yet he 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.
