^12 (A)There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; these men, O king, have ^(B)not paid due regard to you. They do not serve your gods or worship the gold image which you have set up.”

¹¹ So Daniel said to ^[a]the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

⁶ Now from among those of the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ^7 (A)To them the chief of the eunuchs gave names: ^(B)he gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego.
