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
and he carried
H776
them 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
spake
H828
unto Ashpenaz
H7227
the master
H5631
of his eunuchs,
H935
that he should bring
H1121
in certain of the children
H3478
of Israel,
H2233
even of the seed
H4410
royal
H6579
and of the nobles;
4
H3206
youths
H3971
in whom was no blemish,
H2896
but well -
H4758
favored,
H7919
and skilful
H2451
in all wisdom,
H3045
and endued
H1847
with knowledge,
H995
and understanding
H4093
science,
H3581
and such as had ability
H5975
to stand
H4428
in the king's
H1964
palace;
H3925
and that he should teach
H5612
them the learning
H3956
and the tongue
H3778
of the Chaldeans.
5
H4428
And the king
H4487
appointed
H3117
for them a daily
H1697
portion
H4428
of the king's
H6598
dainties,
H3196
and of the wine
H4960
which he drank,
H1431
and that they should be nourished
H7969
three
H8141
years;
H7117
that at the end
H5975
thereof they should 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
And the prince
H5631
of the eunuchs
H7760
gave
H8034
names
H1840
unto them: unto Daniel
H7760
he gave
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
H4428
king's
H6598
dainties,
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
made
H1840
Daniel
H2617
to find kindness
H7356
and compassion
H6440
in the sight
H8269
of 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 hath appointed
H3978
your food
H4960
and your drink:
H7200
for why should he see
H6440
your faces
H7200
worse looking
H3206
than the youths
H1524
that are of your own age?
H2325
so would ye endanger
H7218
my head
H4428
with the king.
11
H559
Then said
H1840
Daniel
H4453
to the steward
H8269
whom the prince
H5631
of the eunuchs
H4487
had appointed
H1840
over Daniel,
H2608
Hananiah,
H4332
Mishael,
H5838
and Azariah:
12
H5254
Prove
H5650
thy servants,
H6235
I beseech thee, ten
H3117
days;
H5414
and let them give
H2235
us pulse
H398
to eat,
H4325
and water
H8354
to drink.
13
H4758
Then let our countenances
H7200
be looked upon
H6440
before
H4758
thee, and the countenance
H3206
of the youths
H398
that eat
H6598
of the
H4428
king's
H6598
dainties;
H7200
and as thou seest,
H6213
deal
H5650
with thy servants.
14
H8085
So he hearkened
H1697
unto them in this matter,
H5254
and proved
H6235
them ten
H3117
days.
15
H7117
And at the end
H6235
of ten
H3117
days
H4758
their countenances
H7200
appeared
H2896
fairer,
H1277
and they were fatter
H1320
in flesh,
H3206
than all the youths
H398
that did eat
H6598
of the
H4428
king's
H6598
dainties.
16
H4453
So the steward
H5375
took away
H6598
their dainties,
H3196
and the wine
H4960
that they should drink,
H5414
and gave
H2235
them pulse.
17
H702
Now as for these four
H3206
youths,
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
And at the end
H3117
of the days
H4428
which the king
H559
had appointed
H935
for bringing
H8269
them in, the prince
H5631
of the eunuchs
H935
brought
H6440
them in before
H5019
Nebuchadnezzar.
19
H4428
And the king
H1696
communed
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.
