Daniel 1:3-4
3Then the king 1ordered Ashpenaz, the chief of his 2officials, to bring in some of the sons of Israel, including some of the 3royal 4family and of the nobles,
4youths in whom was 5no defect, who were good-looking, showing 6intelligence in every branch of wisdom, endowed with understanding and discerning knowledge, and who had ability for 7serving in the king’s 8court; and he ordered him to teach them the 9literature and 10language of the 11Chaldeans.
