Daniel 1

Faithfulness Rewarded

17 God gave these four young men knowledge and understanding  * 1:17 Jb 32:8; Ac 7:22; Jms 1:5 in every kind of literature and wisdom. Daniel also understood visions and dreams  * 1:17 1Kg 3:10–12; Dn 2:19,30; 4:18–19; 7:1 of every kind. 18 At the end of the time that the king had said to present them, the chief eunuch presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king interviewed them, and among all of them, no one was found equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.  * 1:18–19 Gn 41:37–39 So they began to attend the king.
