Yep, Nebuchadnezzar, threw three "captive" Jews, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego into a fiery furnace when they refused to worship an idol he constructed.

He didn't kidnap them - they were captives among the exiled Jews. They were threatened with death because of their unwillingness to bow and worship before a great golden idol. The King's name was Nebuchadnezzar (sometimes spelled Nebuchadrezzar)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebuchadnezzar_II_of_Babylon
Nebuchadrezzar II, also often called Nebuchadnezzar, is perhaps the best known ruler of Babylon in the Chaldean Dynasty, who reigned ca. 605 BC-562 BC. He is famous for his conquests of Judah and Jerusalem, his monumental building within his capital of Babylon, his role in the Book of Daniel, and his construction of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon,
During another incident, Nebuchadrezzar erects a large idol for worship during a public ceremony on the plain of Dura. When three Jews, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah (respectively renamed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego by their captors, to facilitate their assimilation into Babylonian culture), refuse to take part, he has them cast into a fiery furnace. They are protected by an angel or "the Son of God" [Daniel 3:25, KJV] (interpreted to be the second member of the Godhead which is God the Son, later known as Jesus Christ), and emerge unscathed. (Daniel Chapter 3)

OK it was Nebuchadnezzar but he did not kidnap them he toke them as slaves and the spoils of war; Dan.1:1In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
and Daniel was described as this;Dan.1:4Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
This is not your typical kidnapping to promote people to serve in the King's court; 6Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
7Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
The better question was why did Daniel not have to bow before the false Idol; Daniel 3: 12There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
