Hebrew nobleman taken to Babylon as a young man. He and his three friends refused to eat the king's food and were found healthier than their peers. God gave him the ability to interpret dreams and visions. He interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's and Belshazzar's dreams, and was thrown into a den of lions for praying to God, from which he emerged unharmed. He received apocalyptic visions about the future of kingdoms and the 'Son of Man.'
