Daniel 1:19-20

Context
1:19 When the king spoke with them, he did not find among the entire group 1  anyone like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, or Azariah. So they entered the king’s service. 2  1:20 In every matter of wisdom and 3  insight the king asked them about, he found them to be ten times 4  better than any of the magicians and astrologers that were in his entire empire.

Daniel 2:48

Context
2:48 Then the king elevated Daniel to high position and bestowed on him many marvelous gifts. He granted him authority over the entire province of Babylon and made him the main prefect over all the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel 6:3

Context
6:3 Now this Daniel was distinguishing himself above the other supervisors and the satraps, for he had an extraordinary spirit. In fact, the king intended to appoint him over the entire kingdom.

1 tn Heb “from all of them.”

2 tn Heb “stood before the king.”

3 tc The MT lacks the conjunction, reading the first word in the phrase as a construct (“wisdom of insight”). While this reading is not impossible, it seems better to follow Theodotion, the Syriac, the Vulgate, and the Sahidic Coptic, all of which have the conjunction.

4 tn Heb “hands.”
