Daniel 3:30 Meaning and 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 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 The king said, "Praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel and rescued these men who serve and trust him. They disobeyed my orders and risked their lives rather than bow down and worship any god except their own.

29 "And now I command that if anyone of any nation, race, or language speaks disrespectfully of the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, he is to be torn limb from limb, and his house is to be made a pile of ruins. There is no other god who can rescue like this."

30 And the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to higher positions in the province of Babylon.
