Daniel 1:17-21

« Ezek 48Daniel 1Daniel 2 »

17 And as for these four youths, ^aGod gave them knowledge and insight in every branch of ¹literature and wisdom; Daniel even understood all kinds of ^bvisions and dreams.
18 Then at the end of the days which the king had spoken of for bringing them in, the commander of the officials brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 19 And the king talked with them, and out of them all not one was found like ^aDaniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; so they ^bstood in service before the king. 20 And as for every matter of ^awisdom in understanding which the king sought from them, he found them ^bten times ^cbetter than all the ¹^dmagicians and conjurers who were in all his kingdom. 21 And Daniel ¹continued until the ^afirst year of Cyrus the king.
