    3The king ordered Ashpenaz, the chief of his officials, to bring some of the sons of Israel from the royal family and the nobles.

    4They were young men without any physical defect, handsome, skilled in all wisdom, knowledgeable, discerning, and capable of serving in the king's palace. He was to teach them the literature and the language of the Chaldeans.

    5The king assigned them a daily portion from the royal food and wine that he drank. They were to be trained for three years, and at the end of that time, they were to serve before the king.

    6Among them were some from the sons of Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

    7The chief of the officials gave them new names: to Daniel, he gave the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.

    8But Daniel resolved in his heart not to defile himself with the royal food or wine. So he requested permission from the chief official not to defile himself.

    9God caused the chief official to show favor and compassion toward Daniel.

    10But the chief official said to Daniel, 'I fear my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other youths your age? You would endanger my life before the king.'

    11Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

    12Please test your servants for ten days. Let us be given only vegetables to eat and water to drink.

    13Then compare our appearance with that of the other youths who are eating the royal food, and deal with your servants according to what you see.
