Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were three Jewish men who were thrown into a fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon, according to the biblical book of Daniel. The king had commanded that all people in his kingdom should worship a golden statue that he had erected, but these three men refused to do so, as it went against their religious beliefs. As punishment for their disobedience, the king ordered that they be thrown into a furnace that was heated to an extremely high temperature.
However, when the furnace was opened, the king and his officials were amazed to see that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were not only unharmed but were also walking around inside the furnace, accompanied by a fourth figure who was described as looking like "a son of the gods." The men were then brought out of the furnace, and the king praised their God for saving them.
