What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
Verse 7. "After these things the people, therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the trumpet and pipe..." We are to take this statement in the same sense as above, so that we understand that all the peoples were represented by their leaders. For of course it was impossible for all the nations to attend at one time.
Hippolytus of Rome
And so then, while all the men were coming together for the event and while the musical instruments rang out together, at that moment the peoples, tribes, and tongues, fell down and worshipped the image, some of them only because they feared the king, but all became idolaters, and they heeded the word which was prescribed by the king.
