Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem, shutting it in with his forces. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> And the Lord gave into his hands Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he took them away into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he put the vessels into the store-house of his god. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> And the king gave orders to Ashpenaz, the captain of his unsexed servants, to take in some of the children of Israel, certain of the king&#8217;s family, and those of high birth; <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> Young men who were strong and healthy, good-looking, and trained in all wisdom, having a good education and much knowledge, and able to take positions in the king&#8217;s house; and to have them trained in the writing and language of the Chaldaeans. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> And a regular amount of food and wine every day from the king&#8217;s table was ordered for them by the king; and they were to be cared for for three years so that at the end of that time they might take their places before the king. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> And among these there were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> And the captain of the unsexed servants gave them names; to Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar, to Hananiah the name of Shadrach, to Mishael the name of Meshach, and to Azariah the name of Abed-nego. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> And Daniel had come to the decision that he would not make himself unclean with the king&#8217;s food or wine; so he made a request to the captain of the unsexed servants that he might not make himself unclean. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> And God put into the heart of the captain of the unsexed servants kind feelings and pity for Daniel. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> And the captain of the unsexed servants said to Daniel, I am in fear of my lord the king, who has given orders about your food and your drink; what if he sees you looking less happy than the other young men of your generation? then you would have put my head in danger from the king. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> Then Daniel said to the keeper in whose care the captain of the unsexed servants had put Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> Put your servants to the test for ten days; let them give us grain for our food and water for our drink. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> Then take a look at our faces and the faces of the young men who have food from the king&#8217;s table; and, having seen them, do to your servants as it seems right to you. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> So he gave ear to them in this thing and put them to the test for ten days. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> And at the end of ten days their faces seemed fairer and they were fatter in flesh than all the young men who had their food from the king&#8217;s table. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> So the keeper regularly took away their meat and the wine which was to have been their drink, and gave them grain. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Now as for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and made them expert in all book-learning and wisdom: and Daniel was wise in all visions and dreams. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> Now at the end of the time fixed by the king for them to go in, the captain of the unsexed servants took them in to Nebuchadnezzar. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> And the king had talk with them; and among them all there was no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; so they were given places before the king. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> And in any business needing wisdom and good sense, about which the king put questions to them, he saw that they were ten times better than all the wonder-workers and users of secret arts in all his kingdom. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> And Daniel went on till the first year of King Cyrus. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client =
