    2And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with part of the vessels of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasury of his god.

    3And the king spoke to Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring some of the children of Israel, and of the king's descendants, and of the nobles;

    4Young men in whom there was no blemish, but handsome, and skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, and understanding science, and those who had ability in them to serve in the king's palace, whom they might teach the literature and language of the Chaldeans.

    5And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's delicacies and of the wine which he drank, so nourishing them three years, that at the end of that time they might serve before the king.

    6Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

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

    8But Daniel resolved in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's delicacies, nor with the wine he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

    9Now God had brought Daniel into favor and tender love with the chief of the eunuchs.

    10And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, "I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking worse than the young men who are your age? Then you would endanger my head to the king."

    11Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

    12"Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.

    13Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king's delicacies; and as you see fit, deal with your servants."

    14So he agreed with them in this matter and tested them for ten days.

    15And at the end of the ten days their features appeared better and healthier in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of the king's delicacies.

    19And the king conversed with them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore they served before the king.
