1 H7969 In the third H8141 year H4438 of the reign H3079 of Jehoiakim H4428 king H3063 of Judah H935 [H8804] came H5019 Nebuchadnezzar H4428 king H894 of Babylon H3389 to Jerusalem H6696 [H8799] , and besieged it.

2 H136 And the Lord H5414 [H8799] 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 [H8686] : which he carried H776 into the land H8152 of Shinar H1004 to the house H430 of his god H935 [H8689] ; and he brought H3627 the vessels H214 into the treasure H1004 house H430 of his god.

3 H4428 And the king H559 [H8799] spoke H828 to Ashpenaz H7227 the master H5631 of his eunuchs H935 [H8687] , that he should bring H1121 certain of the children H3478 of Israel H4410 , and of the king's H2233 seed H6579 , and of the princes;

4 H3206 Children H3971 H3971 [H8675] in whom was no blemish H2896 , but of good H4758 appearance H7919 [H8688] , and skilful H2451 in all wisdom H3045 [H8802] , and possessing H1847 knowledge H995 [H8688] , and understanding H4093 science H3581 , and such as had ability H5975 [H8800] in them to stand H4428 in the king's H1964 palace H3925 [H8763] , and whom they might teach H5612 the learning H3956 and the language H3778 of the Chaldeans.

5 H4428 And the king H4487 [H8762] appointed H3117 them a daily H1697 provision H4428 of the king's H6598 food H3196 , and of the wine H4960 which he drank H1431 [H8763] : so nourishing H7969 them three H8141 years H7117 , that at the end H5975 [H8799] of which they might stand H6440 before H4428 the king.

6 H1121 Now among these were of the children H3063 of Judah H1840 , Daniel H2608 , Hananiah H4332 , Mishael H5838 , and Azariah:

7 H8269 To whom the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H7760 [H8799] gave H8034 names H7760 [H8799] : for he gave H1840 to 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 Abednego.

8 H1840 But Daniel H7760 [H8799] purposed H3820 in his heart H1351 [H8691] that he would not defile H6598 0 himself with the portion H4428 of the king's H6598 food H3196 , nor with the wine H4960 which he drank H1245 [H8762] : therefore he requested H8269 of the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H1351 [H8691] that he might not defile himself.

9 H430 Now God H5414 [H8799] had brought H1840 Daniel H2617 into favour H7356 and compassion H6440 with H8269 the prince H5631 of the eunuchs.

10 H8269 And the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H559 [H8799] said H1840 to Daniel H3373 , I fear H113 my lord H4428 the king H4487 [H8765] , who hath appointed H3978 your food H4960 and your drink H7200 [H8799] : for why should he see H6440 your faces H2196 [H8802] worse looking H3206 than the children H1524 who are of your age H2325 [H8765] ? then shall ye make me endanger H7218 my head H4428 to the king.

11 H559 [H8799] Then said H1840 Daniel H4453 to Melzar H8269 , whom the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H4487 [H8765] had set H1840 over Daniel H2608 , Hananiah H4332 , Mishael H5838 , and Azariah,

12 H5254 [H8761] Test H5650 thy servants H6235 , I beseech thee, ten H3117 days H5414 [H8799] ; and let them give H2235 us vegetables H398 [H8799] to eat H4325 , and water H8354 [H8799] to drink.

13 H4758 Then let our countenances H7200 [H8735] be looked upon H6440 before H4758 thee, and the countenance H3206 of the children H398 [H8802] that eat H6598 0 of the portion H4428 of the king's H6598 food H7200 [H8799] : and as thou seest H6213 [H8798] , deal H5650 with thy servants.

14 H8085 [H8799] So he consented H1697 to them in this matter H5254 [H8762] , and tried H6235 them ten H3117 days.

15 H7117 And at the end H6235 of ten H3117 days H4758 their countenances H7200 [H8738] appeared H2896 fairer H1277 and fatter H1320 in flesh H3206 than all the children H398 [H8802] who ate H6598 0 the portion H4428 of the king's H6598 food.

16 H4453 Thus Melzar H5375 [H8802] took away H6598 the portion of their food H3196 , and the wine H4960 that they should drink H5414 [H8802] ; and gave H2235 them vegetables.

17 H702 As for these four H3206 children H430 , God H5414 [H8804] gave H4093 them knowledge H7919 [H8687] and skill H5612 in all learning H2451 and wisdom H1840 : and Daniel H995 [H8689] had understanding H2377 in all visions H2472 and dreams.

18 H7117 Now at the end H3117 of the days H4428 that the king H559 [H8804] had said H935 [H8687] he should bring H8269 them in, then the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H935 [H8686] brought H6440 them in before H5019 Nebuchadnezzar.

19 H4428 And the king H1696 [H8762] talked H4672 [H8738] with them; and among them all was found H1840 none like Daniel H2608 , Hananiah H4332 , Mishael H5838 , and Azariah H5975 [H8799] : therefore they stood H6440 before H4428 the king.

20 H1697 And in all matters H2451 of wisdom H998 and understanding H4428 , that the king H1245 [H8765] enquired H4672 [H8799] of them, he found H6235 them ten times H3027 better H2748 than all the magicians H825 and astrologers H4438 that were in all his realm.

21 H1840 And Daniel H259 continued even to the first H8141 year H4428 of king H3566 Cyrus.
