Daniel 3:26 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:26

Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning
fiery furnace
He came so nigh before, as to see at a distance four persons walking in it; now he comes nearer, as near as he could with safety: and spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of
the most high God;
he not only spake to them in a different tone than he did before; not in wrath and fury, but mildly and gently, with great respect unto them, and reverence of them; and not only calls them by the names he and his courtiers had given them, but styles them the servants of the most high God; he owns their God was a God above his: the Chaldeans worshipped fire, but the God of the Jews had power over that, and could restrain the force of it at pleasure; and he acknowledges that these men were faithful worshippers of him; who had in this wonderful manner appeared for them, and thereby approved their faith and confidence in him, and their service of him; see ( Acts 16:17 ) : come forth, and come hither;
that is, come out of the furnace, and come to the place where I and my nobles are: then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the
fire;
as they had been cast into it by the king's order, therefore they did not presume to go out of it without the same; nor were they concerned about coming out; they had very agreeable and delightful company, and had reason to say it was good for them to be there; however, when they had the king's order, they immediately obeyed it.

Daniel 3:26 In-Context

24 Entonces el rey Nabucodonosor se espant贸, y levant贸se apriesa, y habl贸, y dijo 谩 los de su consejo: 驴No echaron tres varones atados dentro del fuego? Ellos respondieron y dijeron al rey: Es verdad, oh rey.
25 Respondi贸 茅l y dijo: He aqu铆 que yo veo cuatro varones sueltos, que se pasean en medio del fuego, y ning煤n da帽o hay en ellos: y el parecer del cuarto es semejante 谩 hijo de los dioses.
26 Entonces Nabucodonosor se acerc贸 谩 la puerta del horno de fuego ardiendo, y habl贸 y dijo: Sadrach, Mesach, y Abed-nego, siervos del alto Dios, salid y venid. Entonces Sadrach, Mesach, y Abed-nego, salieron de en medio del fuego.
27 Y junt谩ronse los grandes, los gobernadores, los capitanes, y los del consejo del rey, para mirar estos varones, como el fuego no se ense帽ore贸 de sus cuerpos, ni cabello de sus cabezas fu茅 quemado, ni sus ropas se mudaron, ni olor de fuego hab铆a pasado por ellos.
28 Nabucodonosor habl贸 y dijo: Bendito el Dios de ellos, de Sadrach, Mesach, y Abed-nego, que envi贸 su 谩ngel, y libr贸 sus siervos que esperaron en 茅l, y el mandamiento del rey mudaron, y entregaron sus cuerpos antes que sirviesen ni adorasen otro dios que su Dios.
