"As it turned out, among these young men were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah."
— Daniel 1:6, NET Bible
“Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:”
“Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ”
“Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.”
“Now there was among them of the children of Juda, Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias.”
“And among these there were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.”
“Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:”
The king commanded Ashpenaz, who was in charge of his court officials, to choose some of the Israelites who were of royal and noble descent–
young men in whom there was no physical defect and who were handsome, well versed in all kinds of wisdom, well educated and having keen insight, and who were capable of entering the king’s royal service– and to teach them the literature and language of the Babylonians.
So the king assigned them a daily ration from his royal delicacies and from the wine he himself drank. They were to be trained for the next three years. At the end of that time they were to enter the king’s service.
As it turned out, among these young men were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
But the overseer of the court officials renamed them. He gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar, Hananiah he named Shadrach, Mishael he named Meshach, and Azariah he named Abednego.
But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the royal delicacies or the royal wine. He therefore asked the overseer of the court officials for permission not to defile himself.
Then God made the overseer of the court officials sympathetic to Daniel.
