In Daniel 3:5, 3:7, 3:10, and 3:15, the word is used to describe musicians who played instruments during the dedication of King Nebuchadnezzar's golden image. The musicians were part of a larger ensemble that included various instruments, and their role was to provide music that signaled the people to worship the image.
