Daniel 1:4-6
4youths in whom was 1no defect, who were good-looking, showing 2intelligence in every branch of wisdom, endowed with understanding and discerning knowledge, and who had ability for 3serving in the king’s 4court; and he ordered him to teach them the 5literature and 6language of the 7Chaldeans.
5The king appointed for them a daily ration from the 8king’s choice food and from the wine which he drank, and appointed that they should be 9educated three years, at the end of which they were to 1011enter the king’s personal service.
6Now among them from the sons of Judah were 12Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.
