Meshach

From BibleEncyclopedia.Net

mē´shak (משׁך, meshakh):

The title given to Mishael, one of the three Hebrew youths who were under training at the Babylonian court for the rank of Magi (Daniel 1:7; Daniel 2:49; Daniel 3:12-30). This was probably the name of some Chaldean god.

Possibly the Sumerian form of the Babylonian Ṣil-Asharidu, “the shadow of the prince,” just as Shadrach probably means “the servant of Sin,” and Abednego the “servant of Ishtar.” Meshach was one of the three Hebrew companions of Daniel, whose history is given in the first chapters of the Book of Daniel.
