As it turned out, among these young men were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

But the overseer of the court officials renamed them. He gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar, Hananiah he named Shadrach, Mishael he named Meshach, and Azariah he named Abednego.

Daniel then spoke to the warden whom the overseer of the court officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

When the king spoke with them, he did not find among the entire group anyone like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, or Azariah. So they entered the king's service.

Then Daniel went to his home and informed his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah of the matter.
