Daniel 1:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ At the end of the ·time [^Ldays] ·set for them by the king [^Lwhich the king said to bring them; v. 5], ·Ashpenaz [^Lthe chief officer/or of the eunuchs] brought all the young men to King Nebuchadnezzar. ¹⁹ The king talked to them and found that none of the young men were ·as good as [^Llike] Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So ·those four young men became the king’s servants [^Lthey stood before the king]. ²⁰ Every time the king ·asked them about [^Lsought from them] something important, they showed much wisdom and understanding. They were ten times better than all the ·magicians [enchanters] and ·fortune-tellers [diviners] in his kingdom!
