Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 3:8
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
8. accused the Jews —literally, "ate the rent limbs," or flesh of the Jews (compare Job 31:31 ; Psalms 14:4 ; Psalms 27:2 ; Jeremiah 10:25 ). Not probably in general, but as Daniel 3:12 states, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Why Daniel was not summoned does not appear. Probably he was in some distant part of the empire on state business, and the general summons ( Daniel 3:12- : ) had not time to reach him before the dedication. Also, the Jews' enemies found it more politic to begin by attacking Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who were nearer at hand, and had less influence, before they proceeded to attack Daniel. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-9" class="com-number"
