KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
So all the big shots showed up — the governors, military commanders, judges, treasury officials, advisors, local authorities, basically everyone with any kind of power in the provinces. They all gathered for the grand opening of this massive statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had built, and there they were, standing right in front of it.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When the king calls a mandatory meeting, literally everyone who's anyone shows up.
