¹In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.

KJVIn the third^H7969 year^H8141 of the reign^H4438 of Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 came^H935^(H8804) Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 unto Jerusalem^H3389, and besieged^H6696^(H8799) it.

² The Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god. He brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.

KJVAnd the Lord^H136 gave^H5414^(H8799) Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 into his hand^H3027, with part^H7117 of the vessels^H3627 of the house^H1004 of God^H430: which he carried^H935^(H8686) into the land^H776 of Shinar^H8152 to the house^H1004 of his god^H430; and he brought^H935^(H8689) the vessels^H3627 into the treasure^H214 house^H1004 of his god^H430.

³ The king spoke to Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, even of the royal offspring and of the nobles:

KJVAnd the king^H4428 spake^H559^(H8799) unto Ashpenaz^H828 the master^H7227 of his eunuchs^H5631, that he should bring^H935^(H8687) certain of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, and of the king's^H4410 seed^H2233, and of the princes^H6579;

⁴ youths in whom was no defect, but well-favored, skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding science, and who had the ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.

KJVChildren^H3206 in whom was no blemish^H3971^(H8675)^H3971, but well^H2896 favoured^H4758, and skilful^H7919^(H8688) in all wisdom^H2451, and cunning^H3045^(H8802) in knowledge^H1847, and understanding^H995^(H8688) science^H4093, and such as had ability^H3581 in them to stand^H5975^(H8800) in the king's^H4428 palace^H1964, and whom they might teach^H3925^(H8763) the learning^H5612 and the tongue^H3956 of the Chaldeans^H3778.

⁵ The king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s delicacies and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years, that at its end they should stand before the king.

KJVAnd the king^H4428 appointed^H4487^(H8762) them a daily^H3117^H3117 provision^H1697 of the king's^H4428 meat^H6598, and of the wine^H3196 which he drank^H4960: so nourishing^H1431^(H8763) them three^H7969 years^H8141, that at the end^H7117 thereof they might stand^H5975^(H8799) before^H6440 the king^H4428.

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

KJVNow among these were of the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063, Daniel^H1840, Hananiah^H2608, Mishael^H4332, and Azariah^H5838:

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

KJVUnto whom the prince^H8269 of the eunuchs^H5631 gave^H7760^(H8799) names^H8034: for he gave^H7760^(H8799) unto Daniel^H1840 the name of Belteshazzar^H1095; and to Hananiah^H2608, of Shadrach^H7714; and to Mishael^H4332, of Meshach^H4335; and to Azariah^H5838, of Abednego^H5664.

⁸ But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank. Therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

KJVBut Daniel^H1840 purposed^H7760^(H8799) in his heart^H3820 that he would not defile^H1351^(H8691) himself with the portion^H6598 of the king's^H4428 meat^H6598, nor with the wine^H3196 which he drank^H4960: therefore he requested^H1245^(H8762) of the prince^H8269 of the eunuchs^H5631 that he might not defile^H1351^(H8691) himself.

⁹ Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.

KJVNow God^H430 had brought^H5414^(H8799) Daniel^H1840 into favour^H2617 and tender love^H7356 with^H6440 the prince^H8269 of the eunuchs^H5631.

¹⁰ The prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink. For why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths who are of your own age? Then you would endanger my head with the king.”

KJVAnd the prince^H8269 of the eunuchs^H5631 said^H559^(H8799) unto Daniel^H1840, I fear^H3373 my lord^H113 the king^H4428, who hath appointed^H4487^(H8765) your meat^H3978 and your drink^H4960: for why should he see^H7200^(H8799) your faces^H6440 worse liking^H2196^(H8802) than the children^H3206 which are of your sort^H1524? then shall ye make me endanger^H2325^(H8765) my head^H7218 to the king^H4428.

¹¹ Then Daniel said to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) Daniel^H1840 to Melzar^H4453, whom the prince^H8269 of the eunuchs^H5631 had set^H4487^(H8765) over Daniel^H1840, Hananiah^H2608, Mishael^H4332, and Azariah^H5838,

¹² “Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.

KJVProve^H5254^(H8761) thy servants^H5650, I beseech thee, ten^H6235 days^H3117; and let them give^H5414^(H8799) us pulse^H2235 to eat^H398^(H8799), and water^H4325 to drink^H8354^(H8799).

¹³ Then let our faces be examined before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king’s delicacies; and as you see, deal with your servants.”

KJVThen let our countenances^H4758 be looked upon^H7200^(H8735) before^H6440 thee, and the countenance^H4758 of the children^H3206 that eat^H398^(H8802) of the portion^H6598 of the king's^H4428 meat^H6598: and as thou seest^H7200^(H8799), deal^H6213^(H8798) with thy servants^H5650.

¹⁴ So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days.

KJVSo he consented^H8085^(H8799) to them in this matter^H1697, and proved^H5254^(H8762) them ten^H6235 days^H3117.

¹⁵ At the end of ten days, their faces appeared fairer and they were fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate of the king’s delicacies.

KJVAnd at the end^H7117 of ten^H6235 days^H3117 their countenances^H4758 appeared^H7200^(H8738) fairer^H2896 and fatter^H1277 in flesh^H1320 than all the children^H3206 which did eat^H398^(H8802) the portion^H6598 of the king's^H4428 meat^H6598.

¹⁶ So the steward took away their delicacies and the wine that they were given to drink, and gave them vegetables.

KJVThus Melzar^H4453 took away^H5375^(H8802) the portion of their meat^H6598, and the wine^H3196 that they should drink^H4960; and gave^H5414^(H8802) them pulse^H2235.

¹⁷ Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

KJVAs for these four^H702 children^H3206, God^H430 gave^H5414^(H8804) them knowledge^H4093 and skill^H7919^(H8687) in all learning^H5612 and wisdom^H2451: and Daniel^H1840 had understanding^H995^(H8689) in all visions^H2377 and dreams^H2472.

¹⁸ At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

KJVNow at the end^H7117 of the days^H3117 that the king^H4428 had said^H559^(H8804) he should bring^H935^(H8687) them in, then the prince^H8269 of the eunuchs^H5631 brought^H935^(H8686) them in before^H6440 Nebuchadnezzar^H5019.

¹⁹ The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore they stood before the king.

KJVAnd the king^H4428 communed^H1696^(H8762) with them; and among them all was found^H4672^(H8738) none like Daniel^H1840, Hananiah^H2608, Mishael^H4332, and Azariah^H5838: therefore stood^H5975^(H8799) they before^H6440 the king^H4428.

²⁰ In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm.

KJVAnd in all matters^H1697 of wisdom^H2451 and understanding^H998, that the king^H4428 enquired^H1245^(H8765) of them, he found^H4672^(H8799) them ten times^H6235 better^H3027 than all the magicians^H2748 and astrologers^H825 that were in all his realm^H4438.

²¹ Daniel continued even to the first year of King Cyrus.

KJVAnd Daniel^H1840 continued even unto the first^H259 year^H8141 of king^H4428 Cyrus^H3566.
