What is the significance of Daniel and his friends having their names changed in Daniel 1? 
What do their new Babylonian names mean? 
Why is there no mention of Belshazzar as king of Babylon in the official records? 
Who was Darius the Mede?

*At 17:02 James said that Shar-ezer turns up in 1 Chronicles 3. This was incorrect. He was thinking of Shen-azzar, which might be a variant form of Shar-ezer but it is not certain.
