Daniel 2:46

"Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will happen hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”"

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face -This was the common method of signifying profound respect among the Orientals. CompareGenesis 17:3;Genesis 50:18;Leviticus 9:24;Numbers 14:5;Joshua 5:14;Judges 13:20;Revelation 11:16. And worshipped Daniel -The word rendered “worshipped” here (סגדsegid), in the Chaldee portions of the Bible is uniformly rendered “worship,”Daniel 2:26;Daniel 3:5-7,Daniel 3:10-12,Daniel 3:14-15,Daniel 3:18,Daniel 3:28. It occurs nowhere else, and in every instance, except in the one before us, is employed with reference to the homage paid to an idol, all the other cases occurring in the third chapter respecting the image that was set up by Nebuchadnezzar.
