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 Éprouve, je te prie, tes serviteurs pendant dix jours, et qu'on nous donne des légumes à manger et de l'eau à boire;
13 Après cela, tu regarderas notre visage et le visage des jeunes gens qui mangent les mets du roi; puis tu feras avec tes serviteurs selon ce que tu auras vu.
14 Alors il leur accorda cela, et les éprouva pendant dix jours.
15 Et au bout de dix jours, on leur vit meilleur visage et plus d'embonpoint qu'à tous les jeunes gens qui mangeaient les mets du roi.
16 C'est pourquoi le maître d'hôtel enlevait les mets qui leur étaient destinés et le vin qu'ils devaient boire, et il leur donnait des légumes.
