Daniel 3:1-4.Nebuchadnezzar-II the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits and the breadth thereof six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Then the princes, the governors and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. And they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations and languages, 

Daniel 3:5 That at what time you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up.

Daniel 3:6,7 And whoso falls not down and worships shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

Daniel 3:8-12 Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans.(snitches who get others into trouble usually due to jealously, envy and/or for money).came near and accused any of Judea.(who is really the accuser here?). They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever. You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that hears the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery and dulcimer and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image. And whoso falls not down and worships, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. There are certain ones of Judea whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. These men, O king, have not regarded you. They serve not your Gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.

Daniel 3:13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.

Daniel 3:14-18.Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, do not you serve my Gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? Now if you be ready that at what time you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery and dulcimer and all kinds of musick, you fall down and worship the image which I have made; well, but if you worship not, you shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer you in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto you, O king, that we will not serve your Gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.

Daniel 3:19-22 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Therefore he spake and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen.(a garment such as a coat or a short coat).and their hats and their other garments and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

Daniel 3:23-30 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied.(astonished).and rose up in haste and spake and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire and they have no hurt and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.(that is, this fourth one must have been a spiritual being because he was there with the three and they were all untouched by the fire; this was different, not what they would ever have thought would be seen and perhaps they assumed this is what an angel of the mighty true God would be like). Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, you servants of the most high God, come forth and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. And the princes, governors and captains and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. Then Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has 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. Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, 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. Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
