Clarke's Daniel 3:20 Bible Commentary
The most mighty men - The generals, or chief officers of his army; not strong men, there was no need of such.
Barnes's Daniel 3:20 Bible Commentary
And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army - Margin, "mighty of strength." Chaldee, "And to mighty men, mighty men of strength who were in his army, he said." He employed the strongest men that could be found for this purpose.
Wesley's Daniel 3:20 Bible Commentary
3:20 To bind - What did he think these three men would have refused?Or that their God would defend them from his power, or that if he had, his mighty men could have prevailed? None of all this was the case; for God purposed to shew his power when the king did his worst, and in the thing wherein he dealt proudly, to be above him.
