All this happened
This phrase indicates the fulfillment of a prophecy or a divine decree. In the context of Daniel 4, it refers to the events that were foretold in Nebuchadnezzar's dream, which Daniel interpreted. The phrase underscores the certainty and inevitability of God's word coming to pass. In a broader biblical context, it serves as a reminder of the sovereignty of God over human affairs, emphasizing that what God declares will indeed occur. This aligns with the biblical theme that God's plans are unchangeable and His purposes will be accomplished, as seen throughout Scripture.

to King Nebuchadnezzar
Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon, one of the most powerful empires of the ancient world. His reign is historically documented, and he is known for his military conquests and the construction of the Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In the biblical narrative, Nebuchadnezzar is a central figure in the Book of Daniel, representing the epitome of human pride and self-sufficiency. The events that "happened" to him, as described in this chapter, serve as a divine lesson in humility. God humbles Nebuchadnezzar to demonstrate that all earthly power and authority are ultimately subject to the divine will. This serves as a powerful reminder to believers of the importance of humility and the recognition of God's supreme authority over all nations and rulers.

Verses 28, 29. - All this came upon the King Nebuchadnezzar. At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. The Septuagint here has the look of a paraphrase. In continuation of the preceding verse, "Attend (ἀγάπησον) to these words, for my word is certain, and thy time is full. And at the end of this word, Nebuchadnezzar, when he heard the interpretation of the vision, kept these words in his heart" (compare with this the phrase in Luke 2:19). "And after twelve months the king walked upon the walls of the city, and went about its towers, and answered and said." The variations appear to be due to a desire to expand and explain. It seemed to the translator more natural that, after a survey of the walls and towers of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar should speak his boastful words, hence he makes the suitable changes in the verse before us; so, too, with the effect of Daniel's words on the king. The rendering of Theodotion coincides nearly with the text of the Massorites, save that hoychal is translated "temple" rather than "palace" - a translation which usage quite permits. The Peshitta retains the double meaning. One, of the great buildings erected by an Assyrian or Babylonian monarch was his palace, which had also the character of a temple. In the case of the Ninevite monarchs, the walls of the palace were adorned with sculptures, portraying the principal events of the monarch's reign. This not impossibly might be the case with the palace of Nebuchadnezzar. Babylon as a city seems to have been practically rebuilt by him - his bricks are the most numerous of any found in Babylonia.
