He was to teach them the literature and the language of the Chaldeans. 5 The 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. 6 Among them were some from the sons of Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. 7 The 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. 8 But 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. 9 God caused the chief official to show favor and compassion toward Daniel. 10 But 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.' 11 Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12 Please test your servants for ten days. Let us be given only vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then 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. 14 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. 15 At the end of the ten days, they looked healthier and better nourished than all the young men who were eating the royal food. 16 So the steward took away their portion of the royal food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead. 17 To these four young men, God gave knowledge and understanding in all kinds of literature and wisdom. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds. 18 At the end of the time set by the king to bring them in, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king spoke with them, and among all of them, no one was found to be like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they entered the king's service. 20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding that the king consulted them about, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom. 21 And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.
