! King Nebuchadnezzar ordered Ashpenaz to bring Israelite young men from royal families and nobility to learn to serve in the king’s palace. Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were part of this group.

! Daniel asked one of the guards if he and his friends could eat vegetables and drink water instead of the king’s food so that they would not break God’s law.

! The guard was afraid that he would get into trouble if he agreed. Daniel asked if they could try it for 10 days, and the guard agreed.

! Daniel and his friends were stronger and healthier than the others at the end of 10 days. God honored Daniel and his friends.

! King Nebuchadnezzar had a gold statue built. He demanded that everyone bow down and worship the statue or be thrown into a fiery furnace.

! Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow to the statue. They explained to the king that their God could rescue them from the furnace, but even if He did not, they still would not bow to the statue.

! Nebuchadnezzar became angry and had the three men bound and thrown into the furnace. When he saw four men walking around in the furnace instead of three, he became alarmed.

! The king called for the three men to come out of the fire. All three came out of the fire completely unharmed.

! Nebuchadnezzar recognized that God had rescued them because they had refused to worship any other god.

! King Darius planned to put Daniel in charge of his kingdom. The other leaders became jealous and tried to catch Daniel doing something wrong. But Daniel consistently did what was right.

! The men noticed that Daniel always followed the laws of God, so they came up with a plan to trap Daniel.

! The leaders convinced the king to make a law stating that no one could pray to any god but the king for the next 30 days. Anyone who broke this law would be thrown into the lion’s den.

! Daniel continued to pray to God just as he had always done.

! The men went to the king and told him Daniel had broken the law. The king tried to save Daniel, but the law could not be changed. So Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den.

! The next morning the king went straight to the lion’s den and called down into the pit. Daniel replied telling the king that he had found favor with God, and God had closed the lions’ mouths.
