Dan 01:01 ¶ In the third <07969> year <08141> of the reign
<04438> of Jehoiakim <03079> king <04428> of Judah <03063> came
<0935> (8804) Nebuchadnezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon
<0894> unto Jerusalem <03389>, and besieged <06696> (8799) it.
Dan 01:02 And the Lord <0136> gave <05414> (8799) Jehoiakim
<03079> king <04428> of Judah <03063> into his hand <03027>,
with part <07117> of the vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of
God <0430>: which he carried <0935> (8686) into the land <0776>
of Shinar <08152> to the house <01004> of his god <0430>; and he
brought <0935> (8689) the vessels <03627> into the treasure
<0214> house <01004> of his god <0430>.
Dan 01:03 And the king <04428> spake <0559> (8799) unto
Ashpenaz <0828> the master <07227> of his eunuchs <05631>, that
he should bring <0935> (8687) certain of the children <01121> of
Israel <03478>, and of the king’s <04410> seed <02233>, and of
the princes <06579>;
Dan 01:04 Children <03206> in whom was no blemish <03971>
(8675) <03971>, but well <02896> favoured <04758>, and skilful
<07919> (8688) in all wisdom <02451>, and cunning <03045> (8802)
in knowledge <01847>, and understanding <0995> (8688) science
<04093>, and such as had ability <03581> in them to stand
<05975> (8800) in the king’s <04428> palace <01964>, and whom
they might teach <03925> (8763) the learning <05612> and the
tongue <03956> of the Chaldeans <03778>.
Dan 01:05 And the king <04428> appointed <04487> (8762) them a
daily <03117> <03117> provision <01697> of the king’s <04428>
meat <06598>, and of the wine <03196> which he drank <04960>: so
nourishing <01431> (8763) them three <07969> years <08141>, that
at the end <07117> thereof they might stand <05975> (8799)
before <06440> the king <04428>.
Dan 01:06 Now among these were of the children <01121> of Judah
<03063>, Daniel <01840>, Hananiah <02608>, Mishael <04332>, and
Azariah <05838>:
Dan 01:07 Unto whom the prince <08269> of the eunuchs <05631>
gave <07760> (8799) names <08034>: for he gave <07760> (8799)
unto Daniel <01840> the name of Belteshazzar <01095>; and to
Hananiah <02608>, of Shadrach <07714>; and to Mishael <04332>,
of Meshach <04335>; and to Azariah <05838>, of Abednego <05664>.
Dan 01:08 ¶ But Daniel <01840> purposed <07760> (8799) in his
heart <03820> that he would not defile <01351> (8691) himself
with the portion <06598> <00> of the king’s <04428> meat <06598>,
nor with the wine <03196> which he drank <04960>: therefore he
requested <01245> (8762) of the prince <08269> of the eunuchs
<05631> that he might not defile <01351> (8691) himself.
Dan 01:09 Now God <0430> had brought <05414> (8799) Daniel
<01840> into favour <02617> and tender love <07356> with <06440>
the prince <08269> of the eunuchs <05631>.
Dan 01:10 And the prince <08269> of the eunuchs <05631> said
<0559> (8799) unto Daniel <01840>, I fear <03373> my lord <0113>
the king <04428>, who hath appointed <04487> (8765) your meat
<03978> and your drink <04960>: for why should he see <07200>
(8799) your faces <06440> worse liking <02196> (8802) than the
children <03206> which are of your sort <01524>? then shall ye
make me endanger <02325> (8765) my head <07218> to the king
<04428>.
Dan 01:11 Then said <0559> (8799) Daniel <01840> to Melzar
<04453>, whom the prince <08269> of the eunuchs <05631> had set
<04487> (8765) over Daniel <01840>, Hananiah <02608>, Mishael
<04332>, and Azariah <05838>,
Dan 01:12 Prove <05254> (8761) thy servants <05650>, I beseech
thee, ten <06235> days <03117>; and let them give <05414> (8799)
us pulse <02235> to eat <0398> (8799), and water <04325> to
drink <08354> (8799).
Dan 01:13 Then let our countenances <04758> be looked upon
<07200> (8735) before <06440> thee, and the countenance <04758>
of the children <03206> that eat <0398> (8802) of the portion
<06598> <00> of the king’s <04428> meat <06598>: and as thou
seest <07200> (8799), deal <06213> (8798) with thy servants
<05650>.
Dan 01:14 So he consented <08085> (8799) to them in this matter
<01697>, and proved <05254> (8762) them ten <06235> days <03117>.
Dan 01:15 And at the end <07117> of ten <06235> days <03117>
their countenances <04758> appeared <07200> (8738) fairer
<02896> and fatter <01277> in flesh <01320> than all the
children <03206> which did eat <0398> (8802) the portion <06598>
<00> of the king’s <04428> meat <06598>.
Dan 01:16 Thus Melzar <04453> took away <05375> (8802) the
portion of their meat <06598>, and the wine <03196> that they
should drink <04960>; and gave <05414> (8802) them pulse <02235>.
Dan 01:17 ¶ As for these four <0702> children <03206>, God
<0430> gave <05414> (8804) them knowledge <04093> and skill
<07919> (8687) in all learning <05612> and wisdom <02451>: and
Daniel <01840> had understanding <0995> (8689) in all visions
<02377> and dreams <02472>.
Dan 01:18 Now at the end <07117> of the days <03117> that the
king <04428> had said <0559> (8804) he should bring <0935>
(8687) them in, then the prince <08269> of the eunuchs <05631>
brought <0935> (8686) them in before <06440> Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>.
Dan 01:19 And the king <04428> communed <01696> (8762) with
them; and among them all was found <04672> (8738) none like
Daniel <01840>, Hananiah <02608>, Mishael <04332>, and Azariah
<05838>: therefore stood <05975> (8799) they before <06440> the
king <04428>.
Dan 01:20 And in all matters <01697> of wisdom <02451> and
understanding <0998>, that the king <04428> enquired <01245>
(8765) of them, he found <04672> (8799) them ten times <06235>
better <03027> than all the magicians <02748> and astrologers
<0825> that were in all his realm <04438>.
Dan 01:21 And Daniel <01840> continued even unto the first
<0259> year <08141> of king <04428> Cyrus <03566>.
Dan 02:01 ¶ And in the second <08147> year <08141> of the reign
<04438> of Nebuchadnezzar <05019> Nebuchadnezzar <05019> dreamed
<02492> (8804) dreams <02472>, wherewith his spirit <07307> was
troubled <06470> (8691), and his sleep <08142> brake <01961>
(8738) from him.
Dan 02:02 Then the king <04428> commanded <0559> (8799) to call
<07121> (8800) the magicians <02748>, and the astrologers <0825>,
and the sorcerers <03784> (8764), and the Chaldeans <03778>,
for to shew <05046> (8687) the king <04428> his dreams <02472>.
So they came <0935> (8799) and stood <05975> (8799) before
<06440> the king <04428>.
Dan 02:03 And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto them, I
have dreamed <02492> (8804) a dream <02472>, and my spirit
<07307> was troubled <06470> (8735) to know <03045> (8800) the
dream <02472>.
Dan 02:04 Then spake <01696> (8762) the Chaldeans <03778> to
the king <04428> in Syriack <0762>, O king <04430>, live <02418>
(8747) for ever <05957>: tell <0560> (8747) thy servants <05649>
the dream <02493>, and we will shew <02324> (8741) the
interpretation <06591>.
Dan 02:05 The king <04430> answered <06032> (8750) and said
<0560> (8750) to the Chaldeans <03779>, The thing <04406> is
gone <0230> (8754) from me <04481>: if <02006> ye will not
<03809> make known <03046> (8681) unto me the dream <02493>,
with the interpretation <06591> thereof, ye shall be cut <05648>
