Daniel 3:13 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:13

Then Nebuchadnezzar, in his rage and fury
Which did not became him as a man, much less as a king, and still less as engaged in devotion and religion; commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego;
that is, immediately before him; who very probably were not afar off: he did not order them in his wrath and fury to be slain directly, as he did the wise men and soothsayers in another case; but to be brought before him, and examined first, that he might know the truth of these allegations against them; which shows, amidst all his rage, he retained still some respect for them, and esteem of them: then they brought these men before the king;
which they had not much trouble to do, being very ready to come and answer for themselves, and give an account of their conduct, and their reason for it.

Daniel 3:13 In-Context

11 Ese decreto también establece que quienes se rehúsen a obedecer serán arrojados dentro de un horno ardiente.

12 Pues hay algunos judíos —Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego— a los que usted puso a cargo de la provincia de Babilonia que no le prestan atención, su Majestad. Se niegan a servir a los dioses de su Majestad y no rinden culto a la estatua de oro que usted ha levantado».

13 Entonces Nabucodonosor se enfureció y ordenó que trajeran ante él a Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego. Cuando los trajeron,

14 Nabucodonosor les preguntó:
—¿Es cierto, Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego, que ustedes se rehúsan a servir a mis dioses y a rendir culto a la estatua de oro que he levantado?

15 Les daré una oportunidad más para inclinarse y rendir culto a la estatua que he hecho cuando oigan el sonido de los instrumentos musicales.
Sin embargo, si se niegan, serán inmediatamente arrojados al horno ardiente y entonces, ¿qué dios podrá rescatarlos de mi poder?
