Why was Daniel not seen on the plain of Dura?

---

On the plain of Dura many Jewish boys bent down to tie their sandals, but only three was true to the Creator God not to bow down. It is suggested that Nebuchadnezzar was convinced that this young ruler Daniel will be true to his God, and therefore he was sent off on business to another area of the kingdom as not to cause a crisis. Still, his friends were also true to their beliefs.
