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 Prueba, te ruego, tus siervos diez d铆as, y dennos legumbres 谩 comer, y agua 谩 beber.
13 Parezcan luego delante de ti nuestros rostros, y los rostros de los muchachos que comen de la raci贸n de la comida del rey; y seg煤n que vieres, har谩s con tus siervos.
14 Consinti贸 pues con ellos en esto, y prob贸 con ellos diez d铆as.
15 Y al cabo de los diez d铆as pareci贸 el rostro de ellos mejor y m谩s nutrido de carne, que los otros muchachos que com铆an de la raci贸n de comida del rey.
16 As铆 fu茅 que Melsar tomaba la raci贸n de la comida de ellos, y el vino de su beber, y d谩bales legumbres.
