H7969
In the third
H8141
year
H4438
of the reign
H3079
of Jehoiakim
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H935
came
H5019
Nebuchadnezzar
H4428
king
H894
of Babylon
H3389
unto Jerusalem,
H6696
and besieged it.
2
H136
And the Lord
H5414
gave
H3079
Jehoiakim
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H3027
into his hand,
H7117
with part
H3627
of the vessels
H1004
of the house
H430
of God:
H935
which he carried
H776
into the land
H8152
of Shinar
H1004
to the house
H430
of his god;
H935
and he brought
H3627
the vessels
H214
into the treasure
H1004
house
H430
of his god.
3
H4428
And the king
H559
spoke
H828
unto Ashpenaz
H7227
the master
H5631
of his eunuchs,
H935
that he should bring
H1121
certain of the sons
H3478
of Israel,
H4410
and of the king's
H2233
seed,
H6579
and of the princes;
4
H3206
Sons
H3971
in whom was no blemish,
H2896
but well
H4758
favored,
H7919
and skillful
H2451
in all wisdom,
H3045
and skillful
H1847
in knowledge,
H995
and understanding
H4093
science,
H3581
and such as had ability
H5975
in them to stand
H4428
in the king's
H1964
palace,
H3925
and whom they might teach
H5612
the learning
H3956
and the tongue
H3778
of the Chaldeans.
5
H4428
And the king
H4487
appointed
H3117
them a daily
H1697
provision
H4428
of the king's
H6598
food,
H3196
and of the wine
H4960
which he drank:
H1431
so nourishing
H7969
them three
H8141
years,
H7117
that at the end
H5975
there they might stand
H6440
before
H4428
the king.
6
H1121
Now among these were of the sons
H3063
of Judah,
H1840
Daniel,
H2608
Hananiah,
H4332
Mishael,
H5838
and Azariah:
7
H8269
Unto whom the prince
H5631
of the eunuchs
H7760
gave
H8034
names:
H7760
for he gave
H1840
unto Daniel
H1095
the name of Belteshazzar;
H2608
and to Hananiah,
H7714
of Shadrach;
H4332
and to Mishael,
H4335
of Meshach;
H5838
and to Azariah,
H5664
of Abed–nego.
8
H1840
But Daniel
H7760
purposed
H3820
in his heart
H1351
that he would not defile
H6598
himself with the portion
H4428
of the king's
H6598
food,
H3196
nor with the wine
H4960
which he drank:
H1245
therefore he requested
H8269
of the prince
H5631
of the eunuchs
H1351
that he might not defile himself.
9
H430
Now God
H5414
had brought
H1840
Daniel
H2617
into favor
H7356
and tender love
H6440
with
H8269
the prince
H5631
of the eunuchs.
10
H8269
And the prince
H5631
of the eunuchs
H559
said
H1840
unto Daniel,
H3373
I fear
H113
my lord
H4428
the king,
H4487
who has appointed
H3978
your food
H4960
and your drink:
H7200
for why should he see
H6440
your faces
H2196
worse liking
H3206
than the sons
H1524
which are of your sort?
H2325
then shall you make me endanger
H7218
my head
H4428
to the king.
11
H559
Then said
H1840
Daniel
H4453
to Melzar,
H8269
whom the prince
H5631
of the eunuchs
H4487
had set
H1840
over Daniel,
H2608
Hananiah,
H4332
Mishael,
H5838
and Azariah,
12
H5254
Prove
H5650
your servants,
H6235
I beg you, ten
H3117
days;
H5414
and let them give
H2235
us vegetables
H398
to eat,
H4325
and water
H8354
to drink.
13
H4758
Then let our countenances
H7200
be looked upon
H6440
before
H4758
you, and the favor
H3206
of the sons
H398
that eat
H6598
of the portion
H4428
of the king's
H6598
food:
H7200
and as you see,
H6213
deal
H5650
with your servants.
15
H7117
And at the end
H6235
of ten
H3117
days
H4758
their countenances
H7200
appeared
H2896
fairer
H1277
and fatter
H1320
in flesh
H3206
than all the sons
H398
which did eat
H6598
the portion
H4428
of the king's
H6598
food.
16
H4453
Thus Melzar
H5375
took away
H6598
the portion of their food,
H3196
and the wine
H4960
that they should drink;
H5414
and gave
H2235
them vegetables.
17
H702
As for these four
H3206
sons,
H430
God
H5414
gave
H4093
them knowledge
H7919
and skill
H5612
in all learning
H2451
and wisdom:
H1840
and Daniel
H995
had understanding
H2377
in all visions
H2472
and dreams.
18
H7117
Now at the end
H3117
of the days
H4428
that the king
H559
had said
H935
he should bring
H8269
them in, then the prince
H5631
of the eunuchs
H935
brought
H6440
them in before
H5019
Nebuchadnezzar.
19
H4428
And the king
H1696
talked
H4672
with them; and among them all was found
H1840
none like Daniel,
H2608
Hananiah,
H4332
Mishael,
H5838
and Azariah:
H5975
therefore stood
H6440
they before
H4428
the king.
