A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Lord of kings--The world power shall at last have to acknowledge this (Rev 17:14; Rev 19:16); even as Nebuchadnezzar, who had been the God-appointed "king of kings" (Dan 2:37), but who had abused the trust, is constrained by God's servant to acknowledge that God is the true "Lord of kings."

37 Thou [0607], O king [04430], art a king [04430] of kings [04430]: for the God [0426] of heaven [08065] hath given [03052] thee a kingdom [04437], power [02632], and strength [08632], and glory [03367].
16 And [2532] he hath [2192] on [1909] his vesture [2440] and [2532] on [1909] his [846] thigh [3382] a name [3686] written [1125], KING [935] OF KINGS [935], AND [2532] LORD [2962] OF LORDS [2962].
14 These [3778] shall make war [4170] with [3326] the Lamb [721], and [2532] the Lamb [721] shall overcome [3528] them [846]: for [3754] he is [2076] Lord [2962] of lords [2962], and [2532] King [935] of kings [935]: and [2532] they that are with [3326] him [846] are called [2822], and [2532] chosen [1588], and [2532] faithful [4103].
28 But [01297] there is [0383] a God [0426] in heaven [08065] that revealeth [01541] secrets [07328], and maketh known [03046] to the king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] what [04101] shall be [01934] in the latter [0320] days [03118]. Thy dream [02493], and the visions [02376] of thy head [07217] upon [05922] thy bed [04903], are these [01836];
15 Which [3739] in his [2398] times [2540] he shall shew [1166], who [3588] is the blessed [3107] and [2532] only [3441] Potentate [1413], the King [935] of kings [936], and [2532] Lord [2962] of lords [2961];
14 These [3778] shall make war [4170] with [3326] the Lamb [721], and [2532] the Lamb [721] shall overcome [3528] them [846]: for [3754] he is [2076] Lord [2962] of lords [2962], and [2532] King [935] of kings [935]: and [2532] they that are with [3326] him [846] are called [2822], and [2532] chosen [1588], and [2532] faithful [4103].
30 But as for me [0576], this [01836] secret [07328] is not [03809] revealed [01541] to me for any wisdom [02452] that I have [0383] more than [04481] any [03606] living [02417], but [03861] for their sakes [01701] that [05922] shall make known [03046] the interpretation [06591] to the king [04430], and that thou mightest know [03046] the thoughts [07476] of thy heart [03825].
46 Then [0116] the king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] fell [05308] upon [05922] his face [0600], and worshipped [05457] Daniel [01841], and commanded [0560] that they should offer [05260] an oblation [04504] and sweet odours [05208] unto him.
