Daniel 1:18-21

New American Standard Bible

¹⁸ Then at the end of the days which the king had ^[a]specified ^[b]for presenting them, the commander of the officials ^[c]presented them before Nebuchadnezzar. ¹⁹ And the king talked with them, and out of them all not one was found like ^(A)Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; so they ^[d](B)entered the king’s personal service. ²⁰ As for every matter of ^(C)expertise ^[e]and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ^(D)ten times ^(E)better than all the ^(F)soothsayer priests and conjurers who were in all his realm. ²¹ And Daniel ^[f]continued until the ^(G)first year of Cyrus the king.
