³ Then the king^c Or said toordered Ashpenaz, the chief of his^d Or eunuchs, and so throughout the chofficials, to bring in some of the sons of Israel, including some of the^e Lit seed of theroyal family and of the nobles, ⁴ youths in whom was no defect, who were good-looking, showing intelligence in every branch of wisdom, endowed with understanding and discerning knowledge, and who had ability for^f Lit standingserving in the king’s^g Lit palacecourt; and he ordered him to teach them the^h Or writingliterature and language of the Chaldeans. ⁵ The king appointed for them a daily ration from the king’s choice food and from the wine which he drank, and appointed that they should beⁱ Or rearededucated three years, at the end of which they were to^j Lit stand before the kingenter the king’s personal service. ⁶ Now among them from the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. ⁷ Then the commander of the officials assigned new names to them; and to Daniel he assigned the name Belteshazzar, to Hananiah Shadrach, to Mishael Meshach and to Azariah Abed-nego.	3 Ki2 24:15 Isa 39:7 4 Sa2 14:25 Dan 1:17 Isa 36:11 Jer 5:15 Dan 2:4 Dan 2:2 Dan 2:4 Dan 2:5 Dan 2:10 Dan 3:8 Dan 4:7 Dan 5:7 Dan 5:11 Dan 5:30 Dan 9:1 5 Dan 1:8 Sa1 16:22 Dan 1:19 6 Eze 14:14 Eze 14:20 Eze 28:3 Mat 24:15 7 Dan 2:26 Dan 4:8 Dan 5:12 Dan 2:49 Dan 3:12 Dan 2:49 Dan 3:12 Dan 2:49 Dan 3:12
⁸ But Daniel^k Lit set upon his heartmade up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king’s choice food or with the wine which he drank; so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself. ⁹ Now God granted Daniel^l Lit lovingkindnessfavor and compassion in the sight of the commander of the officials, ¹⁰ and the commander of the officials said to Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces looking more haggard than the youths who are your own age? Then you would^m Lit make my head guiltymake me forfeit my head to the king.” ¹¹ But Daniel said to the overseer whom the commander of the officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, ¹² “Please test your servants for ten days, and let us be given some vegetables to eat and water to drink. ¹³ Then let our appearance beⁿ Lit seenobserved in your presence and the appearance of the youths who are eating the king’s choice food; and deal with your servants according to what you see.”	8 Lev 11:47 Eze 4:13 Eze 4:14 Hos 9:3 Hos 9:4 Psa 141:4 Dan 1:5 Deu 32:38 Dan 5:4 9 Gen 39:21 Ki1 8:50 Job 5:15 Job 5:16 Psa 106:46 Pro 16:7 12 Dan 1:16
¹⁴ So he listened to them in this matter and tested them for ten days. ¹⁵ At the end of ten days their appearance seemed better and^o Lit fat of fleshthey were fatter than all the youths who had been eating the king’s choice food. ¹⁶ So the overseer continued to^p Lit take awaywithhold their choice food and the wine they were to drink, and kept giving them vegetables.	15 Exo 23:25 Pro 10:22 16 Dan 1:12
¹⁷ As for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and intelligence in every branch of^q Or writingliterature and wisdom; Daniel even understood all kinds of visions and dreams.	17 Ki1 3:12 Ki1 3:28 Job 32:8 Dan 1:20 Dan 2:21 Dan 2:23 Act 7:22 Dan 2:19 Dan 7:1 Dan 8:1
¹⁸ Then at the end of the days which the king had^r Lit saidspecified^s Lit to bring them infor presenting them, the commander of the officials^t Lit brought inpresented them before Nebuchadnezzar. ¹⁹ The king talked with them, and out of them all not one was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they^u Lit stood before the kingentered the king’s personal service. ²⁰ As for every matter of wisdom^v Lit ofand understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the^w Or soothsayer priestsmagicians and conjurers who were in all his realm. ²¹ And Daniel^x Lit was untilcontinued until the first year of Cyrus the king.	19 Dan 1:6 Dan 1:7 Gen 41:46 Dan 1:5 20 Ki1 4:30 Ki1 4:31 Dan 1:17 Gen 31:7 Num 14:22 Neh 4:12 Job 19:3 Dan 2:27 Dan 2:28 Dan 2:46 Dan 2:48 Isa 19:3 Dan 2:2 Dan 4:18 Dan 5:7 21 Dan 6:28 Dan 10:1
