3And the kingH4428 spake unto AshpenazH828 the masterH559 of his eunuchsH5631, that he should bringH935 in certain of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, even of the seedH2233 royalH4428 and of the noblesH6579;

4youthsH3206 in whomH834 was noH369 blemishH3971, but wellH2896 favoured, and skilful in allH3605 wisdomH2451, and cunning in knowledgeH1847, and understandingH995 science, and suchH834 as had abilityH3581 to standH5975 in the king’sH4428 palaceH1964; and that he should teachH3925 them the learning and the tongueH3956 of the ChaldeansH3778.

5And the kingH4428 appointedH5975 for them a dailyH3117 portionH1697 of the king’sH4428 meat, and of the wineH3196 whichH4960 he drankH4960, and that they should be nourished threeH7969 yearsH8141; that at the endH7117 thereof they might standH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
