Daniel 1:4-6
4youths in whom there was 1no impairment, who were good-looking, suitable for 2instruction in every kind of expertise, endowed with understanding and discerning knowledge, and who had ability to 3serve in the king’s 4court; and he ordered Ashpenaz to teach them the 5literature and 6language of the 7Chaldeans.
5The king also allotted for them a daily ration from the 8king’s choice food and from the wine which he drank, and ordered that they be educated for three years, at the end of which they were to 910enter the king’s personal service.
6Now among them from the sons of Judah were 11Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
