@ In the
third
year
of the
reign
of
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah
came
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
unto
Jerusalem
, and
besieged
it.
strkjv@Daniel:1:2
@ And the
Lord
gave
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah
into his
hand
, with
part
of the
vessels
of the
house
of
God
: which he
carried
into the
land
of
Shinar
to the
house
of his
god
; and he
brought
the
vessels
into the
treasure
house
of his
god
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:3
@ And the
king
spake
unto
Ashpenaz
the
master
of his
eunuchs
, that he should
bring
certain of the
children
of
Israel
, and of the
kings
seed
, and of the
princes
;
strkjv@Daniel:1:4
@
Children
in whom was no
blemish
, but
well
favoured
, and
skilful
in all
wisdom
, and
cunning
in
knowledge
, and
understanding
science
, and such as had
ability
in them to
stand
in the
kings
palace
, and whom they might
teach
the
learning
and the
tongue
of the
Chaldeans
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:5
@ And the
king
appointed
them a
daily
provision
of the
kings
meat
, and of the
wine
which he
drank
: so
nourishing
them
three
years
, that at the
end
thereof they might
stand
before
the
king
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:6
@ Now among these were of the
children
of
Judah
,
Daniel
,
Hananiah
,
Mishael
, and
Azariah
:
strkjv@Daniel:1:7
@ Unto whom the
prince
of the
eunuchs
gave
names
: for he
gave
unto
Daniel
the name of
Belteshazzar
Belt@; and to
Hananiah
, of
Shadrach
; and to
Mishael
, of
Meshach
; and to
Azariah
, of
Abednego
Abed.
strkjv@Daniel:1:8
@ But
Daniel
purposed
in his
heart
that he would not
defile
himself with the
portion
of the
kings
meat
, nor with the
wine
which he
drank
: therefore he
requested
of the
prince
of the
eunuchs
that he might not
defile
himself.
strkjv@Daniel:1:9
@ Now
God
had
brought
Daniel
into
favour
and tender
love
with
the
prince
of the
eunuchs
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:10
@ And the
prince
of the
eunuchs
said
unto
Daniel
, I
fear
my
lord
the
king
, who hath
appointed
your
meat
and your
drink
: for why should he
see
your
faces
worse
liking
than the
children
which are of your
sort
? then shall ye make me
endanger
my
head
to the
king
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:11
@ Then
said
Daniel
to
Melzar
, whom the
prince
of the
eunuchs
had
set
over
Daniel
,
Hananiah
,
Mishael
, and
Azariah
,
strkjv@Daniel:1:12
@
Prove
thy
servants
, I beseech thee,
ten
days
; and let them
give
us
pulse
to
eat
, and
water
to
drink
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:13
@ Then let our
countenances
be looked
upon
before
thee, and the
countenance
of the
children
that
eat
of the
portion
of the
kings
meat
: and as thou
seest
,
deal
with thy
servants
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:14
@ So he
consented
to them in this
matter
, and
proved
them
ten
days
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:15
@ And at the
end
of
ten
days
their
countenances
appeared
fairer
and
fatter
in
flesh
than all the
children
which did
eat
the
portion
of the
kings
meat
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:16
@ Thus
Melzar
took
away
the portion of their
meat
, and the
wine
that they should
drink
; and
gave
them
pulse
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:17
@ As for these
four
children
,
God
gave
them
knowledge
and
skill
in all
learning
and
wisdom
: and
Daniel
had
understanding
in all
visions
and
dreams
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:18
@ Now at the
end
of the
days
that the
king
had
said
he should
bring
them in, then the
prince
of the
eunuchs
brought
them in
before
Nebuchadnezzar
N@.
strkjv@Daniel:1:19
@ And the
king
communed
with them; and among them all was
found
none like
Daniel
,
Hananiah
,
Mishael
, and
Azariah
: therefore
stood
they
before
the
king
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:20
@ And in all
matters
of
wisdom
and
understanding
, that the
king
enquired
of them, he
found
them ten
times
better
than all the
magicians
and
astrologers
that were in all his
realm
.
strkjv@Daniel:1:21
@ And
Daniel
continued even unto the
first
year
of
king
Cyrus
