But
Daniel purposed in his
heart that he would not
defile himself with the
portion of the
king's meat, nor with the
wine which he
drank: therefore he
requested of the
prince of the
eunuchs that he might not
defile himself.

Now
God had
brought Daniel into
favour and tender
love with the
prince of the
eunuchs.

And the
prince of the
eunuchs said unto
Daniel, I
fear my
lord the
king, who hath
appointed your
meat and your
drink: for why should he
see your
faces worse
liking than the
children which are of your
sort? then shall ye make me
endanger my
head to the
king.

Then
said Daniel to
Melzar, whom the
prince of the
eunuchs had
set over
Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and
Azariah,

Prove thy
servants, I beseech thee,
ten days; and let them
give us
pulse to
eat, and
water to
drink.

Then let our
countenances be looked
upon before thee, and the
countenance of the
children that
eat of the
portion of the
king's meat: and as thou
seest,
deal with thy
servants.

So he
consented to them in this
matter, and
proved them
ten days.

And at the
end of
ten days their
countenances appeared fairer and
fatter in
flesh than all the
children which did
eat the
portion of the
king's meat.

Thus
Melzar took
away the portion of their
meat, and the
wine that they should
drink; and
gave them
pulse.
