They did bow. There's no prohibition against bowing to a king. What they didn't bow to was the idol which Nevuchadnezzar set up. That was forbidden by the Torah. See also the Tosfot commentary to Talmud, Ketubot 33b.

Did King Nebuchadnezzar throw the three Hebrew children in the furnace?

The Bible, Book of Daniel, Chapter3King Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon. The Hebrews or Israelites were in captivity there. When the three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow before the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar made, the king became very angry and ordered that the furnace be heated seven times hotter than normal. The king himself did not throw the Hebrew men into the furnace. Those who obeyed the King's commandment, and did cast them into the fire, were killed by the fire. The three Hebrew men who were thrown in were seen walking in the fire with what appeared to be a fourth man. King Nebuchadnezzar called them out. They came out unharmed and not even the smell of smoke was upon them. These three Hebrew men were referred to as children in Daniel, chapter 1, verses 3 and 4, but had grown up and had been given adult responsibilities by the time the event happened in the furnace.
