5The kingH4428 also allottedH4487 for them a dailyH3117 rationH1697 from the 1king’sH4428 choiceH6598 foodH6598 and from the wineH3196 which he drankH4960, and ordered that they be educatedH1431 for threeH7969 yearsH8141, at the endH7117 of which they were to 23enterH5975 the king’sH4428 personalH6440 serviceH5975H6440. 6Now among them from the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 were 4DanielH1840, HananiahH2608, MishaelH4332, and AzariahH5838. 7Then the commanderH8269 of the officialsH5631 assignedH7760 new namesH8034 to them; and to DanielH1840 he assignedH7760 the name 5BelteshazzarH1095, to HananiahH2608 6ShadrachH7714, to MishaelH4332 7MeshachH4335, and to AzariahH5838 8Abed-negoH5664.
8But DanielH1840 9madeH7760 upH7760 his mindH3820 that he would not 10defileH1351 himself with the 11king’sH4428 choiceH6598 foodH6598 or with the 12wineH3196 which he drankH4960; so he soughtH1245 permission from the commanderH8269 of the officialsH5631 that he might not defileH1351 himself.
