    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.

    16Thus the steward took away their portion of delicacies and the wine that they were to drink, and gave them vegetables.

    17As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

    18Now at the end of the days, when the king had said they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them before Nebuchadnezzar.

    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.

    20And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm.
