Daniel 3 Summary

Daniel 3 tells how Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to worship the king’s idol and were saved in the fiery furnace.

Refusing to bow to the golden image, the three declare that God can save them—‘but even if he does not,’ they will not worship the idol.

Thrown into the furnace, they are unharmed, joined by a fourth figure, and the king praises their God who rescued his servants.
