Daniel 1:3-7

3The king told Ashpenaz, the chief-of-staff, to bring some of the Israelites, the royal family, and the nobility.

4They were to be young men who were healthy, good-looking, knowledgeable in all subjects, well-informed, intelligent, and able to serve in the king’s palace. They were to be taught the language and literature of the Babylonians.

5The king arranged for them to get a daily allowance of the king’s rich food and wine. They were to be trained for three years. After that, they were to serve the king.

6Among these young men were some Judeans: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

7The chief-of-staff gave them ⌞Babylonian⌟ names: To Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar. To Hananiah he gave the name Shadrach. To Mishael he gave the name Meshach. And to Azariah he gave the name Abednego.
