Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 3:5

_ _ cornet — A wind instrument, like the French horn, is meant.

_ _ flute — a pipe or pipes, not blown transversely as our “flute,” but by mouthpieces at the end.

_ _ sackbut — a triangular stringed instrument, having short strings, the sound being on a high sharp key.

_ _ psaltery — a kind of harp.

_ _ dulcimer — a bagpipe consisting of two pipes, thrust through a leathern bag, emitting a sweet plaintive sound. Chaldee sumponya, the modern Italian zampogna, Asiatic zambonja.

_ _ fall down — that the recusants might be the more readily detected.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Daniel 3:1-7.
