He is one of the three Hebrew youths who, along with Meshach and Abednego, were taken into Babylonian captivity and served in the court of King Nebuchadnezzar. His account is a testament to the power of faith and God's deliverance.<br><br><b>Name and Identity:</b><br>Shadrach is the Babylonian name given to Hananiah, one of the young men from Judah. The name "Shadrach" is believed to be derived from a Babylonian deity, reflecting the practice of renaming captives to assimilate them into Babylonian culture. Despite this, Shadrach remained steadfast in his Hebrew faith.<br><br><b>Biblical Account:</b><br>The primary account of Shadrach is found in <a href="/bsb/daniel/3.htm">Daniel 3</a>. King Nebuchadnezzar erected a massive golden statue and commanded all his subjects to worship it. Shadrach, along with Meshach and Abednego, refused to bow down to the idol, demonstrating their loyalty to the God of Israel. Their defiance is recorded in <a href="/daniel/3-16.htm">Daniel 3:16-18</a> : "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to the king, 'O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If the God we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the blazing fiery furnace and from your hand, O king. But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.'"<br><br><b>The Fiery Furnace:</b><br>In response to their refusal, Nebuchadnezzar ordered that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be thrown into a blazing furnace. The furnace was heated seven times hotter than usual, and the flames were so intense that they killed the soldiers who cast the three men into it. However, God miraculously protected them. <a href="/daniel/3-24.htm">Daniel 3:24-25</a> describes the king's astonishment: "Then King Nebuchadnezzar leapt to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, 'Did we not throw three men, bound, into the fire?' 'Certainly, O king,' they replied. 'Look!' he exclaimed. 'I see four men, unbound and unharmed, walking around in the fire—and the fourth looks like a son of the gods!'"<br><br><b>Divine Deliverance:</b><br>The presence of the fourth figure, often interpreted as a theophany or an angelic being, signifies divine intervention. Shadrach and his companions emerged from the furnace unharmed, without even the smell of smoke on their clothes. This miraculous deliverance led Nebuchadnezzar to praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, acknowledging His power and issuing a decree that no one should speak against their God.<br><br><b>Legacy and Significance:</b><br>Shadrach's account is a powerful example of faith under trial. His refusal to compromise his beliefs, even under the threat of death, serves as an inspiration for believers to remain steadfast in their faith. The account underscores the theme of God's sovereignty and His ability to protect and deliver His faithful servants. Shadrach's legacy is one of courage, conviction, and the triumph of faith over idolatry.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br>The account of Shadrach takes place during the Babylonian exile, a period when the Jewish people were under foreign domination and faced pressure to assimilate into pagan culture. The narrative highlights the tension between maintaining religious identity and the demands of a dominant culture. Shadrach's faithfulness is a reminder of the importance of spiritual integrity and the assurance of God's presence in times of trial.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shadrach</span><p>tender, nipple<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shadrach</span><p>(<i>royal</i> , or the <i>great scribe</i>) the Hebrew, or rather Chaldee, name of Hananiah.

He and his two companions refused to bow down before the image which Nebuchadnezzar had set up on the plains of Dura. Their conduct filled the king with the greatest fury, and he commanded them to be cast into the burning fiery furnace. Here, amid the fiery flames, they were miraculously preserved from harm. Over them the fire had no power, "neither was a hair of their head singed, neither had the smell of fire passed on them." Thus Nebuchadnezzar learned the greatness of the God of Israel.

Shadrach is probably the Sumerian form of the Bah Kudurru-Aki, "servant of Sin." It has been suggested by Meinhold that we should read Merodach instead of Shadrach. Since there were no vowels in the original Hebrew or Aramaic, and since "sh" and "m" as well as "r" and "d" are much alike in the old alphabet in which Daniel was written, this change is quite possible.<br><br>Shadrach and his two companions were trained along with Daniel at the court of Nebuchadnezzar, who had carried all four captive in the expedition against Jerusalem in the 3rd year of Jehoiakim (<a href="/daniel/1-1.htm">Daniel 1:1</a>). They all refused to eat of the food provided by Ashpenaz, the master who had been set over them by the king, but preferred to eat pulse (<a href="/daniel/1-12.htm">Daniel 1:12</a>). The effect was much to their advantage, as they appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than those who ate of the king's meat. At the end of the appointed time they passed satisfactory examinations, both as to their physical appearance and their intellectual acquirements, so that none were found like them among all with whom the king communed, and they stood before the king (see Daniel 1).<br><br>When Daniel heard that the wise men of Babylon were to be slain because they could not tell the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, after he had gained a respite from the king, he made the thing known to his three companions that they might unite with him in prayer to the God of heaven that they all might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. After God had heard their prayer and the dream was made known to the king by Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar, at Daniel's request, set Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon (<a href="/nasb/daniel/2.htm">Daniel 2</a>). With Meshach and Abed-nego, Shadrach was cast into a fiery furnace, but escaped unhurt (<a href="/nasb/daniel/3.htm">Daniel 3</a>).<br><br>See <a href="../a/abed-nego.htm">ABED-NEGO</a>; <a href="../h/hananiah.htm">HANANIAH</a>; SONG OF THE THREE CHILDREN.<br><br>R.
