Daniel 1:14 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 1:14

So he consented to them in all this matter
Or, "hearkened to them" F5; being convinced that it was a very reasonable request, and the matter was fairly put; and especially as he saw, if it succeeded to their wish, it would be to his profit; since the meat and drink of these four persons would be his perquisite, and fetch him money; pulse and water being to be obtained at an easy rate: and proved them ten days;
tried the experiment, by giving them pulse and water only during this time, in order to see how it would agree with them; and whether any visible alteration could be discerned in their countenances, so as to bring him or his master into suspicion and danger.

Daniel 1:14 In-Context

12 Te ruego que pongas a prueba a tus siervos por diez días, y que nos den legumbres para comer y agua para beber.
13 Que se compare después nuestra apariencia en tu presencia con la apariencia de los jóvenes que comen los manjares del rey, y haz con tus siervos según lo que veas.
14 Los escuchó, pues, en esto y los puso a prueba por diez días.
15 Al cabo de los diez días su aspecto parecía mejor y estaban más rollizos que todos los jóvenes que habían estado comiendo los manjares del rey.
16 Así que el mayordomo siguió suprimiendo los manjares y el vino que debían beber, y les daba legumbres.
