They were to be trained for three years, after which they were to enter the king’s service.ĦAmong these young men were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.ħThe chief official gave them new names: To Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar to Hananiah, Shadrach to Mishael, Meshach and to Azariah, Abednego.ĨBut Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king’s food or wine.
