DA-1:1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of
Judah came
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
DA-1:2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand,
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
treasure house of
his god.
DA-1:3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his
eunuchs, that he
should bring [certain] of the children of Israel, and of the
king's seed, and
of the princes;
DA-1:4 Children in whom [was] no blemish, but well favoured,
and skilful in
all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science,
and such as
[had] ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom
they might teach
the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
DA-1:5 And the king appointed them a daily provision of the
king's meat, and
of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that
at the end
thereof they might stand before the king.
DA-1:6 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel,
Hananiah,
Mishael, and Azariah:
DA-1:7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he
gave unto
Daniel [the name] of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach;
and to
Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
DA-1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not
defile himself with
the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank:
therefore he
requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile
himself.
DA-1:9 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love
with the prince
of the eunuchs.
DA-1:10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear
my lord the
king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why
should he see your
faces worse liking than the children which [are] of your sort?
then shall ye
make [me] endanger my head to the king.
DA-1:11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the
eunuchs had set
over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
DA-1:12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let
them give us
pulse to eat, and water to drink.
DA-1:13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee,
and the
countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the
king's meat: and as
thou seest, deal with thy servants.
DA-1:14 So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them
ten days.
DA-1:15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared
fairer and
fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion
of the king's
meat.
DA-1:16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and
the wine that
they should drink; and gave them pulse.
DA-1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and
skill in all
learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions
and dreams.
DA-1:18 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he
should bring
them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before
Nebuchadnezzar.
DA-1:19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was
found none
like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood
they before the
king.
DA-1:20 And in all matters of wisdom [and] understanding, that
the king
inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the
magicians [and]
astrologers that [were] in all his realm.
DA-1:21 And Daniel continued [even] unto the first year of king
Cyrus.
DA-2:1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar
Nebuchadnezzar
dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep
brake from
him.
DA-2:2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the
astrologers,
and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to show the king his
dreams. So they
came and stood before the king.
DA-2:3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and
my spirit was
troubled to know the dream.
DA-2:4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king,
live for
ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the
interpretation.
DA-2:5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing
is gone from
me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the
interpretation
thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be
made a dunghill.
DA-2:6 But if ye show the dream, and the interpretation thereof,
ye shall
receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore show
me the dream,
and the interpretation thereof.
DA-2:7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his
servants the
dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.
DA-2:8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye
