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.

Revised Standard Version
18 At the end of the time, when the king had commanded that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnez′zar. 19 And the king spoke with them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hanani′ah, Mish′a-el, and Azari′ah; therefore they stood before the king. 20 And 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 that were in all his kingdom.
