When Israel was in exile in Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar demanded that his officials, including the Hebrews Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, bow before an image that he had placed on the plain of Dura.
Kui Iisrael oli Babüloni vangipõlves, nõudis Nebukadnetsar, et tema ametnikud, kaasa arvatud heebrealased Sadrak, Meesak ja Abednego, kummardaksid ühe kuju ette, mille ta oli paigutanud Duura orgu.
