John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 3:27

And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together ,.... Either by the order of the king, or of their own accord, to see the miracle that was wrought: saw these men ; saw them walking in the furnace, saw them come out of it at the king's call, and saw them when they were out, and examined them thoroughly; so that they had ocular demonstration, full proof and conviction, of the truth of what was done: upon whose bodies the fire had no power ;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 3:28

Then Nebuchadnezzar spake and said ,.... In the presence of his princes and prime ministers of state, and made the following confession, to the praise and glory of the true God; which was extorted from him at this time through the force of conviction; for it does not appear to be a thorough conversion; nor did he relinquish his gods, and the worship of them: blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ; he does not call him his God, but theirs, as he had called him the God of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 3:29

Therefore I make a decree ,.... Or, a "decree is made by me" F23 מני שים טעם "a me proponitur edictum", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Broughtonus; "a me positum decretum", Montanus, Cocceius, Michaelis. ; which is as follows: that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ; anything indecent, blasphemous, or by way of contempt: he does not give orders that their God should be worshipped or signify... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 3:30

Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon ,.... He restored them to their places of trust and profit, and increased their honours: or, "made them to prosper", as the word F24 הצלח "prosperare fecit", Munster; "prosperari jussit", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; "prosperos felicesque fecit", Gejerus. signifies; they flourished in his court, and became very great and famous. The Septuagint and Arabic versions add, "and he counted them... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 3:19

Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury - How strange is this, after having had so many proofs of the supremacy of Jehovah! He had seen how God poured contempt upon his authority in the case of the three Hebrews, and yet he will try his strength once more! How infatuated is man! Seven times more - As hot as it could be made. Seven expresses the great intensity of the heat. read more

The most mighty men - The generals, or chief officers of his army; not strong men, there was no need of such. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 3:21

Their hats - This word, hat, is found only in this place in the Old Testament. The word סרבל sarbal properly means an outer garment. Herodotus, who lived about one hundred years after Daniel, says, "the dress of the Babylonians consisted of a tunic of linen reaching down to the feet; over this a tunic of woollen; and over all a white short cloak or mantle, χλανιδιον ; and on their heads they wore turbans, μιτρησι ." Following this, Mr. Parkhurst translates the verse thus: "Then these... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 3:23

And these three men - fell down bound - There is a most evident want of connection between this and the following verse; and it is between these verses that the apocryphal Song of the Three Children, as it is called, has been inserted by St. Jerome and others; but with this note: Quae sequuntur in Hebraeis voluminibus non reperi ; "What follows I have not found in the Hebrew books." And then begins, "They walked in the midst of the flame, praising God, and blessing the Lord." The... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 3:25

Is like the Son of God - A most improper translation. What notion could this idolatrous king have of the Lord Jesus Christ? for so the place is understood by thousands. אלהין בר bar elahin signifies a son of the gods, that is, a Divine person or angel; and so the king calls him in Daniel 3:28 ; : "God hath sent his Angel, and delivered his servants." And though even from this some still contend that it was the Angel of the covenant, yet the Babylonish king knew just as much of the one... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 3:27

Upon whose bodies the fire had no power - The heathens boasted that their priests could walk on burning coals unhurt; and Virgil mentions this of the priests of Apollo of Soracte: - Summe Deum, sancti custos Soractis Apollo!
