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 [Then] Nebuchadnezzar spoke, and said, Blessed [be] the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

29 Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other god that can deliver after this sort.
