18Then at the endH7117 of the daysH3117 whichH834 the kingH4428 had 4specifiedH559 5for presentingH935 them, the commanderH8269 of the officialsH5631 6presentedH935 them beforeH6440 NebuchadnezzarH5019. 19And the kingH4428 talkedH1696 with them, and out of them allH3605 not one was foundH4672 like 7DanielH1840, HananiahH2608, MishaelH4332, and AzariahH5838; so they 89enteredH5975 the king’sH4428 personalH6440 serviceH5975H6440. 20As for everyH3605 matterH1697 of 10expertiseH2451 11and understandingH998 about whichH834 the kingH4428 consultedH1245 them, he foundH4672 them 12tenH6235 timesH3027 13betterH5921 thanH5921 allH3605 the 14soothsayerH2748 priestsH2748 and conjurersH825 whoH834 were in allH3605 his realmH4438.
