1In the third H7969 year H8141 of the reign H4438 of Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah H3063 came H935 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 unto Jerusalem, H3389 and besieged H6696 it.

2And the Lord H136 gave H5414 Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah H3063 into his hand, H3027 with part H7117 of the vessels H3627 of the house H1004 of God; H430 and he carried H935 them into the land H776 of Shinar H8152 to the house H1004 of his god: H430 and he brought H935 the vessels H3627 into the treasure - H214 house H1004 of his god. H430

3And the king H4428 spake H559 unto Ashpenaz H828 the master H7227 of his eunuchs, H5631 that he should bring H935 in [certain] of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 even of the seed H2233 royal H4410 and of the nobles; H6579

4youths H3206 in whom was no blemish, H3971 but well - H2896 favored, H4758 and skilful H7919 in all wisdom, H2451 and endued H3045 with knowledge, H1847 and understanding H995 science, H4093 and such as had ability H3581 to stand H5975 in the king's H4428 palace; H1964 and that he should teach H3925 them the learning H5612 and the tongue H3956 of the Chaldeans. H3778

5And the king H4428 appointed H4487 for them a daily H3117 portion H1697 of the king's H4428 dainties, H6598 and of the wine H3196 which he drank, H4960 and that they should be nourished H1431 three H7969 years; H8141 that at the end H7117 thereof they should stand H5975 before H6440 the king. H4428

6Now among these were, of the children H1121 of Judah, H3063 Daniel, H1840 Hananiah, H2608 Mishael, H4332 and Azariah. H5838

7And the prince H8269 of the eunuchs H5631 gave H7760 names H8034 unto them: unto Daniel H1840 he gave H7760 [the name of] Belteshazzar; H1095 and to Hananiah, H2608 [of] Shadrach; H7714 and to Mishael, H4332 [of] Meshach; H4335 and to Azariah, H5838 [of] Abed-nego. H5664

8But Daniel H1840 purposed H7760 in his heart H3820 that he would not defile H1351 himself with the H6598 king's H4428 dainties, H6598 nor with the wine H3196 which he drank: H4960 therefore he requested H1245 of the prince H8269 of the eunuchs H5631 that he might not defile H1351 himself.

9Now God H430 made H5414 Daniel H1840 to find kindness H2617 and compassion H7356 in the sight H6440 of the prince H8269 of the eunuchs. H5631

10And the prince H8269 of the eunuchs H5631 said H559 unto Daniel, H1840 I fear H3373 my lord H113 the king, H4428 who hath appointed H4487 your food H3978 and your drink: H4960 for why should he see H7200 your faces H6440 worse looking H7200 than the youths H3206 that are of your own age? H1524 so would ye endanger H2325 my head H7218 with the king. H4428

11Then said H559 Daniel H1840 to the steward H4453 whom the prince H8269 of the eunuchs H5631 had appointed H4487 over Daniel, H1840 Hananiah, H2608 Mishael, H4332 and Azariah: H5838

12Prove H5254 thy servants, H5650 I beseech thee, ten H6235 days; H3117 and let them give H5414 us pulse H2235 to eat, H398 and water H4325 to drink. H8354

13Then let our countenances H4758 be looked upon H7200 before H6440 thee, and the countenance H4758 of the youths H3206 that eat H398 of the H6598 king's H4428 dainties; H6598 and as thou seest, H7200 deal H6213 with thy servants. H5650

14So he hearkened H8085 unto them in this matter, H1697 and proved H5254 them ten H6235 days. H3117

15And at the end H7117 of ten H6235 days H3117 their countenances H4758 appeared H7200 fairer, H2896 and they were fatter H1277 in flesh, H1320 than all the youths H3206 that did eat H398 of the H6598 king's H4428 dainties. H6598

16So the steward H4453 took away H5375 their dainties, H6598 and the wine H3196 that they should drink, H4960 and gave H5414 them pulse. H2235

17Now as for these four H702 youths, H3206 God H430 gave H5414 them knowledge H4093 and skill H7919 in all learning H5612 and wisdom: H2451 and Daniel H1840 had understanding H995 in all visions H2377 and dreams. H2472

18And at the end H7117 of the days H3117 which the king H4428 had appointed H559 for bringing H935 them in, the prince H8269 of the eunuchs H5631 brought H935 them in before H6440 Nebuchadnezzar. H5019

19And the king H4428 communed H1696 with them; and among them all was found H4672 none like Daniel, H1840 Hananiah, H2608 Mishael, H4332 and Azariah: H5838 therefore stood H5975 they before H6440 the king. H4428

20And in every matter H1697 of wisdom H2451 and understanding, H998 concerning which the king H4428 inquired H1245 of them, he found H4672 them ten times H6235 better H3027 than all the magicians H2748 and enchanters H825 that were in all his realm. H4438

21And Daniel H1840 continued even unto the first H259 year H8141 of king H4428 Cyrus. H3566
