Daniel 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:10

Thou, O king, hast made a decree
According to his own mind and will, and which he had published as such to his subjects: that every man;
let him be who he will, high or low, rich or poor, in whatsoever station or condition: that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut,
psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music;
such as had been just then blown or played on: shall fall down and worship the golden image;
which the king had ordered to be made and set up, and now dedicated, and had been worshipped by men of all ranks.

Daniel 3:10 In-Context

8 Just then, some Babylonian fortunetellers stepped up and accused the Jews.

9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, "Long live the king!

10 You gave strict orders, O king, that when the big band started playing, everyone had to fall to their knees and worship the gold statue,

11 and whoever did not go to their knees and worship it had to be pitched into a roaring furnace.

12 Well, there are some Jews here - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego - whom you have placed in high positions in the province of Babylon. These men are ignoring you, O king. They don't respect your gods and they won't worship the gold statue you set up."
