Berean Strong's Lexicon Shadrak: Shadrach Original Word: שַׁדְרַךְ Word Origin: Of foreign origin, possibly derived from the Akkadian name "Shudur Aku," meaning "command of Aku," with Aku being a Babylonian moon god. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Shadrach in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the name is specific to the Hebrew text and its context in the Book of Daniel. Usage: Shadrach is one of the Babylonian names given to Hananiah, a young Hebrew man of noble lineage, during the Babylonian exile. He is best known as one of the three companions of Daniel who remained faithful to God despite facing persecution. Cultural and Historical Background: Shadrach, along with Meshach and Abednego, was taken into Babylonian captivity during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar. As part of the king's program to assimilate the Jewish elite, they were given Babylonian names and trained in the language and literature of the Chaldeans. Despite these pressures, Shadrach and his companions remained steadfast in their faith, refusing to worship the golden image set up by Nebuchadnezzar, which led to their miraculous deliverance from the fiery furnace.
