He restored them to their places of trust and profit, and increased their honours: or, "made them to prosper", as the word ^F24 signifies; they flourished in his court, and became very great and famous. The Septuagint and Arabic versions add,

``and he counted them worthy to preside over all the Jews that were in his kingdom.''

Daniel 3:30 In-Context

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.

29 Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way.”
