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 También ha ordenado que todo el que no se incline ante la estatua ni la adore sea arrojado a un horno en llamas.
12 Pero hay algunos judíos, a quienes Su Majestad ha puesto al frente de la provincia de Babilonia, que no acatan sus órdenes. No adoran a los dioses de Su Majestad ni a la estatua de oro que mandó erigir. Se trata de Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego.
13 Lleno de ira, Nabucodonosor los mandó llamar. Cuando los jóvenes se presentaron ante el rey,
14 Nabucodonosor les dijo:—Ustedes tres, ¿es verdad que no honran a mis dioses ni adoran a la estatua de oro que he mandado erigir?
15 En cuanto escuchen la música de los instrumentos musicales, más les vale que se inclinen ante la estatua que he mandado hacer y que la adoren. De lo contrario, serán lanzados de inmediato a un horno en llamas, ¡y no habrá dios capaz de librarlos de mis manos!
