Daniel 1:5-8
New International Version
5 The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine(A) from the king’s table.(B) They were to be trained for three years,(C) and after that they were to enter the king’s service.(D)
6 Among those who were chosen were some from Judah: Daniel,(E) Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.(F) 7 The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazzar;(G) to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.(H)
8 But Daniel resolved not to defile(I) himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.
Daniel 1:5-8
King James Version
5 And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.
6 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
