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 e que todo aquele que não se prostrasse em terra e não a adorasse seria atirado numa fornalha em chamas.
12 Mas há alguns judeus que nomeaste para administrar a província da Babilônia, Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-Nego, que não te dão ouvidos, ó rei. Não prestam culto aos teus deuses nem adoram a imagem de ouro que mandaste erguer”.
13 Furioso, Nabucodonosor mandou chamar Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-Nego. E assim que eles foram conduzidos à presença do rei,
14 Nabucodonosor lhes disse: “É verdade, Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-Nego, que vocês não prestam culto aos meus deuses nem adoram a imagem de ouro que mandei erguer?
15 Pois agora, quando vocês ouvirem o som da trombeta, do pífaro, da cítara, da harpa, do saltério, da flauta dupla e de toda espécie de música, se vocês se dispuserem a prostrar-se em terra e a adorar a imagem que eu fiz, será melhor para vocês. Mas, se não a adorarem, serão imediatamente atirados numa fornalha em chamas. E que deus poderá livrá-los das minhas mãos?”
