Daniel 3:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Did he think these three men would have resisted, or that their God would defend them from his power, or that, if he had, the king and his mighty men could have prevailed? None of all this was in the case, for God purposed to show his power when the king did his worst, and to quench the violence of the fire, both of the furnace and of the king's fury, at once; and in the thing wherein he dealt proudly, to be above him.

Daniel 3:20

20 And he commanded the mostf mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
