Usage: Meshach is one of the three Hebrew men, along with Shadrach and Abednego, who were taken into Babylonian captivity and served in the court of King Nebuchadnezzar. The name Meshach is a Babylonian name given to Mishael, one of Daniel's companions. The name reflects the practice of renaming captives to assimilate them into Babylonian culture and religion.
