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 芦Por favor, haz con tus siervos una prueba de diez d铆as. Danos de comer solo verduras, y de beber solo agua.
13 Pasado ese tiempo, compara nuestro semblante con el de los j贸venes que se alimentan con la comida real, y procede de acuerdo con lo que veas en nosotros禄.
14 El guardia acept贸 la propuesta, y los someti贸 a una prueba de diez d铆as.
15 Al cumplirse el plazo, estos j贸venes se ve铆an m谩s sanos y mejor alimentados que cualquiera de los que participaban de la comida real.
16 As铆 que el guardia les retir贸 la comida y el vino del rey, y en su lugar sigui贸 aliment谩ndolos con verduras.
