Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs ,
that he should bring certain of the children of Israel ,
and of the king '
s seed ,
and of the princes ;
*
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 king '
s palace ,
and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans .
*
And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king '
s meat ,
and of the wine which he drank :
so nourishing them three years ,
that at the end thereof they might stand before the king .
