Daniel 1:8-16

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>_.
