meshach Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names:
for he gave unto Daniel [the name] of Belteshazzar; and to
Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of {Meshach}; and to
Azariah, of Abednego.

meshach Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set
Shadrach, {Meshach}, and Abednego, over the affairs of the
province of Babylon: but Daniel [sat] in the gate of the king.

meshach There are certain Jews whom thou hast set
over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, {Meshach},
and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they
serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast
s

et up.

meshach Then Nebuchadnezzar in [his] rage and fury
commanded to bring Shadrach, {Meshach}, and Abednego. Then they
brought these men before the king.

meshach Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, [Is
it] true, O Shadrach, {Meshach}, and Abednego, do not ye serve
my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

meshach Shadrach, {Meshach}, and Abednego, answered
and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we [are] not careful to
answer thee in this matter.

meshach Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the
form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, {Meshach}, and
Abednego: [therefore] he spake, and commanded that they should
heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be he

ated.

meshach And he commanded the most mighty men that
[were] in his army to bind Shadrach, {Meshach}, and Abednego,
[and] to cast [them] into the burning fiery furnace.

meshach Therefore because the king's commandment was
urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire
slew those men that took up Shadrach, {Meshach}, and Abednego.

meshach And these three men, Shadrach, {Meshach}, and
Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery
furnace.

meshach Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of
the burning fiery furnace, [and] spake, and said, Shadrach,
{Meshach}, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come
forth, and come [hither]. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
ca

me forth of the midst of the fire.

meshach Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of
the burning fiery furnace, [and] spake, and said, Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come
forth, and come [hither]. Then Shadrach, {Meshach}, and Abednego,
ca

me forth of the midst of the fire.

meshach Then] Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed
[be] the God of Shadrach, {Meshach}, and Abednego, who hath sent
his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and
have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that t

hey might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

meshach Therefore I make a decree, That every people,
nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the
God of Shadrach, {Meshach}, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces,
and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no

other God that can deliver after this sort.

meshach Then the king promoted Shadrach, {Meshach},
and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
