Daniel 1:3-4
3Then the king told Ashpenaz, the chief of his 1officials, to bring in some of the sons of Israel, including some of the 2royal 3family and of the nobles,
4youths in whom there was 4no impairment, who were good-looking, suitable for 5instruction in every kind of expertise, endowed with understanding and discerning knowledge, and who had ability to 6serve in the king’s 7court; and he ordered Ashpenaz to teach them the 8literature and 9language of the 10Chaldeans.
