Daniel 3:12 - There 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.
Daniel 3:20 - And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
Daniel 3:26 - Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
Daniel 3:28 - Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Daniel 3:29 - Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
Daniel 3:30 - Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.

They refused to compromise, and God protected them mightily and delivered them from what would have been sure death.
But, just to let you know, they weren't boys at that time; they were men. It's been a tradition to call them the three Hebrew boys, but it's not accurate. I'm sure you didn't mean any harm by it.
God bless.

They absolutely refused to compromise with what they believed and what they stood for. There answer to King Nebuchcaneezer(the greatest man of that time) was that they knew their God was able(to deliver them out of his hands) but even if He chose not to, they would still not bow down and worship him. May God Bless U.

They did just like any true Christian would today if faced with the same choices. They refused to bow to a false idol, and said that God was able to deliver them, and even if HE does not deliver them, they still would not deny Him.

They stood firm and were delivered by God to become respected leaders.

they ran away from the R.C. priest.
j/k
na seriously...they ran and told the watchtower society, and sent them to the door of the person's house with tracts ---
and they claimed the Atheist' approach by denying that the person even existed!
Then when all else failed, they turned to the voodoo man and asked him to stick it to 'em..
(I am so-o-o-o-o bad tonight...)
please pray for me.
