Strong's Lexicon
Abed Nego: Abednego

Original Word: עֲבֵד נְגוֹ
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Abed Nego
Pronunciation: ah-BED NEH-go
Phonetic Spelling: (ab-ade' neg-o')
Definition: Abednego
Meaning: Abed-Nego

Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic words עֲבֵד (abed, meaning "servant") and נְגוֹ (Nego, likely a variation of the name of a Babylonian deity, possibly Nebo).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Abed Nego in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the name is specific to the Hebrew and Aramaic texts of the Old Testament.

Usage: Abed Nego is a name given to one of the three Hebrew men, along with Shadrach and Meshach, who were taken into Babylonian captivity and served in the court of King Nebuchadnezzar. The name means "servant of Nego," reflecting the Babylonian practice of renaming captives to honor their gods.

Cultural and Historical Background: Abed Nego, originally named Azariah, was one of the young men from Judah selected for their wisdom and physical appearance to serve in the Babylonian king's court. The renaming of captives was a common practice in ancient Near Eastern cultures, symbolizing the captives' subjugation and assimilation into the conqueror's culture. Abed Nego, along with his companions, is best known for his unwavering faith in the God of Israel, even when faced with the threat of death.
