In the book of
Daniel in the
Old Testament, we are told of three
youth taken by
Nebuchadnezzar II after his first seige of
Jerusalem. They are commonly known by the names given to them by their Babylonian captors:
Shadrach,
Meshach, and
Abednego. Their
Hebrew names were respectively: Hannaniah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Oddly, Daniel was also given a name by the Babylonians, but few remember that name: Belteshazzar.
