Daniel 1:3-21

And the king
<04428>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Ashpenaz
<0828>

the master
<07227>

of his eunuchs
<05631>_,

that he should bring
<0935> (8687)

[certain] of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and of the king's
<04410>

seed
<02233>_,

and of the princes
<06579>_;

Children
<03206>

in whom [was] no blemish
<03971> (8675) <03971>_,

but well
<02896>

favoured
<04758>_,

and skilful
<07919> (8688)

in all wisdom
<02451>_,

and cunning
<03045> (8802)

in knowledge
<01847>_,

and understanding
<0995> (8688)

science
<04093>_,

and such as [had] ability
<03581>

in them to stand
<05975> (8800)

in the king's
<04428>

palace
<01964>_,

and whom they might teach
<03925> (8763)

the learning
<05612>

and the tongue
<03956>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>_.

And the king
<04428>

appointed
<04487> (8762)

them a daily
<03117> <03117>

provision
<01697>

of the king's
<04428>

meat
<06598>_,

and of the wine
<03196>

which he drank
<04960>_:

so nourishing
<01431> (8763)

them three
<07969>

years
<08141>_,

that at the end
<07117>

thereof they might stand
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

{the wine...: Heb. the wine of his drink}

Now among these were of the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>_,

Daniel
<01840>_,

Hananiah
<02608>_,

Mishael
<04332>_,

and Azariah
<05838>_:

Unto whom the prince
<08269>

of the eunuchs
<05631>

gave
<07760> (8799)

names
<08034>_:

for he gave
<07760> (8799)

unto Daniel
<01840>

[the name] of Belteshazzar
<01095>_;

and to Hananiah
<02608>_,

of Shadrach
<07714>_;

and to Mishael
<04332>_,

of Meshach
<04335>_;

and to Azariah
<05838>_,

of Abednego
<05664>_.

But Daniel
<01840>

purposed
<07760> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>

that he would not defile
<01351> (8691)

himself with the portion
<06598> (0)

of the king's
<04428>

meat
<06598>_,

nor with the wine
<03196>

which he drank
<04960>_:

therefore he requested
<01245> (8762)

of the prince
<08269>

of the eunuchs
<05631>

that he might not defile
<01351> (8691)

himself.

Now God
<0430>

had brought
<05414> (8799)

Daniel
<01840>

into favour
<02617>

and tender love
<07356>

with
<06440>

the prince
<08269>

of the eunuchs
<05631>_.

And the prince
<08269>

of the eunuchs
<05631>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Daniel
<01840>_,

I fear
<03373>

my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

who hath appointed
<04487> (8765)

your meat
<03978>

and your drink
<04960>_:

for why should he see
<07200> (8799)

your faces
<06440>

worse liking
<02196> (8802)

than the children
<03206>

which [are] of your sort
<01524>_?

then shall ye make [me] endanger
<02325> (8765)

my head
<07218>

to the king
<04428>_.

{worse...: Heb. sadder} {sort: or, term, or, continuance?}

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Daniel
<01840>

to Melzar
<04453>_,

whom the prince
<08269>

of the eunuchs
<05631>

had set
<04487> (8765)

over Daniel
<01840>_,

Hananiah
<02608>_,

Mishael
<04332>_,

and Azariah
<05838>_,

{Melzar: or, the steward}

Prove
<05254> (8761)

thy servants
<05650>_,

I beseech thee, ten
<06235>

days
<03117>_;

and let them give
<05414> (8799)

us pulse
<02235>

to eat
<0398> (8799)_,

and water
<04325>

to drink
<08354> (8799)_.

{pulse: Heb. of pulse} {to eat...: Heb. that we may eat, etc}

Then let our countenances
<04758>

be looked upon
<07200> (8735)

before
<06440>

thee, and the countenance
<04758>

of the children
<03206>

that eat
<0398> (8802)

of the portion
<06598> (0)

of the king's
<04428>

meat
<06598>_:

and as thou seest
<07200> (8799)_,

deal
<06213> (8798)

with thy servants
<05650>_.

So he consented
<08085> (8799)

to them in this matter
<01697>_,

and proved
<05254> (8762)

them ten
<06235>

days
<03117>_.

And at the end
<07117>

of ten
<06235>

days
<03117>

their countenances
<04758>

appeared
<07200> (8738)

fairer
<02896>

and fatter
<01277>

in flesh
<01320>

than all the children
<03206>

which did eat
<0398> (8802)

the portion
<06598> (0)

of the king's
<04428>

meat
<06598>_.

Thus Melzar
<04453>

took away
<05375> (8802)

the portion of their meat
<06598>_,

and the wine
<03196>

that they should drink
<04960>_;

and gave
<05414> (8802)

them pulse
<02235>_.

As for these four
<0702>

children
<03206>_,

God
<0430>

gave
<05414> (8804)

them knowledge
<04093>

and skill
<07919> (8687)

in all learning
<05612>

and wisdom
<02451>_:

and Daniel
<01840>

had understanding
<0995> (8689)

in all visions
<02377>

and dreams
<02472>_.

{Daniel...: or, he made Daniel understand}

Now at the end
<07117>

of the days
<03117>

that the king
<04428>

had said
<0559> (8804)

he should bring
<0935> (8687)

them in, then the prince
<08269>

of the eunuchs
<05631>

brought
<0935> (8686)

them in before
<06440>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>_.

And the king
<04428>

communed
<01696> (8762)

with them; and among them all was found
<04672> (8738)

none like Daniel
<01840>_,

Hananiah
<02608>_,

Mishael
<04332>_,

and Azariah
<05838>_:

therefore stood
<05975> (8799)

they before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

And in all matters
<01697>

of wisdom
<02451>

[and] understanding
<0998>_,

that the king
<04428>

enquired
<01245> (8765)

of them, he found
<04672> (8799)

them ten times
<06235>

better
<03027>

than all the magicians
<02748>

[and] astrologers
<0825>

that [were] in all his realm
<04438>_.

{wisdom...: Heb. wisdom of understanding}

And Daniel
<01840>

continued [even] unto the first
<0259>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Cyrus
<03566>_.
