abednego <DAN1 -7> 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}.

abednego <DAN2 -49> 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.

abednego <DAN3 -12> 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

set up.

abednego <DAN3 -13> Then Nebuchadnezzar in [his] rage and fury

commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and {Abednego}. Then they

brought these men before the king.

abednego <DAN3 -14> 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?

abednego <DAN3 -16> Shadrach, Meshach, and {Abednego}, answered

and

said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we [are] not careful to

answer

thee in this matter.

abednego <DAN3 -19> 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 h

eated.

abednego <DAN3 -20> 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.

abednego <DAN3 -22> 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}.

abednego <DAN3 -23> And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and

{Abednego}, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery

furnace.

abednego <DAN3 -26> 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, c

ame forth of the midst of the fire.

abednego <DAN3 -26> 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}, c

ame forth of the midst of the fire.

abednego <DAN3 -28> 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

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

abednego <DAN3 -29> 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 n

o other God that can deliver after this sort.

abednego <DAN3 -30> Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and

{Abednego}, in the province of Babylon.
