Daniel 3:20 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:20

And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army,
&c.] The most famous for courage of mind, and strength of body, that were in all his army: to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
either their hands or their feet, or both; unless it can be thought that they were all three bound together in one bundle, and so cast into the furnace; which is not improbable, as Gejerus observes; seeing the king afterwards wondered to see them walk separately in the furnace: there was no need to bind them, for they would not have resisted; and if he ordered this to secure them from the power of their God, it was vain and foolish: and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace:
if they were all three bound together, it required some able bodied men to take them up and cast them in, especially if the furnace was above them; though it is more probable that it was a more depressed place, or below them, and so the cast was more easy.

Daniel 3:20 In-Context

18 pero aunque no lo hiciera, deseamos dejar en claro ante usted que jamás serviremos a sus dioses ni rendiremos culto a la estatua de oro que usted ha levantado.

19 El horno ardiente
Entonces Nabucodonosor se enfureció tanto con Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego que el rostro se le desfiguró a causa de la ira. Mandó calentar el horno siete veces más de lo habitual.

20 Entonces ordenó que algunos de los hombres más fuertes de su ejército ataran a Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego y los arrojaran al horno ardiente.

21 Así que los ataron y los arrojaron al horno, totalmente vestidos con sus pantalones, turbantes, túnicas y demás ropas.

22 Ya que el rey, en su enojo, había exigido que el horno estuviera bien caliente, las llamas mataron a los soldados mientras arrojaban dentro a los tres hombres.
