King James Version with Apocrypha
"So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days."
— Daniel 1:14, King James Version with Apocrypha
“So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.”
“So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days. ”
“So he listened to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.”
“So the warden agreed to their proposal and tested them for ten days.”
“And when he had heard these words, he tried them for ten days.”
“So he gave ear to them in this thing and put them to the test for ten days.”
Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
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.
So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
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.
Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.
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.
