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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 At the end of the time that the king had set for them to be brought in, the palace master brought them into the presence of Nebuchadnezzar, 19 and the king spoke with them. Among them all, no one was found to compare with Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore they were stationed in the king’s court.(A) 20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom.(B)
