8. Therefore at that time certain Kasdim came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.
9. They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for ever!
10. You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
11. and whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
12. There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not respected you. They don’t serve your gods, and don’t worship the golden image which you have set up.”
13. Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought before the king.
