Daniel 1:5-8

5And the kingH4428 appointedH5975 for them a daily portion of the king’sH4428 dainties, and of the wineH3196 which he drankH4960, and that they should be nourished threeH7969 yearsH8141; that at the endH7117 thereof they should standH5975 before the kingH4428. 6Now among these wereH1961, of the children of JudahH3063, DanielH1840, HananiahH2608, MishaelH4332, and AzariahH5838. 7And the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631 gave namesH8034 unto them: unto DanielH1840 he gave the nameH8034 of BelteshazzarH1095; and to HananiahH2608, of Shadrach; and to MishaelH4332, of Meshach; and to AzariahH5838, of Abed-nego.

8But DanielH1840 purposed in his heartH3820 that he would not defile himself with the king’sH4428 dainties, nor with the wineH3196 which he drankH4960: therefore he requested of the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631 that he might not defile himself.
