Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, renamed as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the three Jewish men thrown into a fiery furnace by Nebuchadnezzar II (634-565 B.C.), king of Babylon (605-562 B.C.), when they refused to bow down to the king's image, the idol made of gold, according to chapter 3 of the book of Daniel. As the king thinks, they are protected by "The son of God" and preserved from harm. Drawing of Gustave Dore. Engraving by H. Pisan.
