Daniel 1:17-20
17And as for these four youths, 1God gave them knowledge and intelligence in every kind of 2literature and expertise; Daniel even understood all kinds of 3visions and dreams.
18Then at the end of the days which the king had 4specified 5for presenting them, the commander of the officials 6presented them before Nebuchadnezzar. 19And the king talked with them, and out of them all not one was found like 7Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; so they 89entered the king’s personal service. 20As for every matter of 10expertise 11and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them 12ten times 13better than all the 14soothsayer priests and conjurers who were in all his realm.
