Meshack, Shadrack, and Abednego, triplets who scored the same grade in the 2014 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results, have a story that draws parallels with the biblical account of three men who refused to worship an earthly king.
The biblical story, found in the Holy Book, tells of three courageous gentlemen who chose to be thrown into a fire furnace rather than kneel before a king and worship him. According to the biblical narrative, Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego survived the furnace.
