Who was Abednego from Bible?

Answer 1

Abednego was the Babylonian name for Azariah, one of the captive Hebrew youths who stood up to King Nebudchadnezzar by not bowing to a false God at the risk of his own life(Daniel 3:1-30). Daniel 1:3-7 tells us that when Israel was taken into captivity by Babylon, several 'good looking' young people were taken for special training by the government and "among them some of the sons of Judah, namely Daniel, Han‧a‧ni′ah, Mish′a‧el and Az‧a‧ri′ah. And to them the principal court official went assigning names. So he assigned :

to Daniel -Bel‧te‧shaz′zar; and

to Han‧a‧ni′ah- Sha′drach; and

to Mish′a‧el- Me′shach; and

to Az‧a‧ri′ah- A‧bed′ne‧go."
