and he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>god, and he brought the vessels into the treasury of his <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>god. <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/1-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Then the king said for Ashpenaz, the chief of his <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>officials, to bring in some of the sons of Israel, including some of the royal seed and of the nobles, <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/1-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>youths in whom was no defect, who were good in appearance, showing insight in every <i>branch of</i> wisdom, being thoroughly <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>knowledgeable and discerning knowledge, and who had ability to stand in the king’s palace; and <i>he said for him</i> to teach them the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>literature and tongue of the Chaldeans. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/1-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>And the king appointed for them a daily ration from the king’s choice food and from the wine which he drank, and <i>appointed</i> that they should be <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>educated three years, at the end of which they were to stand before the king. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/1-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Now among them from the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/1-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Then the commander of the officials set names for them; and for Daniel he set <i>the name</i> Belteshazzar, for Hananiah Shadrach, for Mishael Meshach, and for Azariah Abed-nego. <p class="hdg">Daniel’s Heart</p><p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/1-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>But Daniel set in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s choice food or with the wine which he drank;
