¹ In the thirde yere of the reigne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babylon, vnto Ierusalem, and besieged it.

² And the Lord gaue Iehoiakim king of Iudah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God, which he caried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.

³ ¶ And the king spake vnto Ashpenaz the master of his Eunuches, that he should bring certaine of the children of Israel, and of the kings seed, and of the Princes:

⁴ Children in whom was no blemish, but well fauoured, and skilfull in all wisedome, and cunning in knowledge, and vnderstanding science, and such as had abilitie in them to stand in the Kings palace, and whom they might teach the learning, and the tongue of the Caldeans.

⁵ And the King appointed them a daily prouision of the kings meat, and of the wine which he dranke: so nourishing them three yeeres, that at the ende thereof they might stand before the king.

⁶ Now among these were of the children of Iudah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

⁷ Unto whom the Prince of the Eunuches gaue names: for he gaue vnto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah of Abednego.

⁸ ¶ But Daniel purposed in his heart, that he would not defile himselfe with the portion of the kings meat, nor with the wine which he dranke: therefore hee requested of the Prince of the Eunuches, that hee might not defile himselfe.

⁹ Now God had brought Daniel into fauour and tender loue with the Prince of the Eunuches.

¹⁰ And the Prince of the Eunuches said vnto Daniel, I feare my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat, and your drinke: for why should he see your faces worse liking then the children which are of your sort? then shall yee make mee indanger my head to the King.

¹¹ Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the Prince of the Eunuches had set ouer Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

¹² Proue thy seruants, I beseech thee, ten dayes, and let them giue pulse to eat, and water to drinke.

¹³ Then let our countenances be looked vpon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the Kings meate: and as thou seest, deale with thy seruants.

¹⁴ So hee consented to them in this matter, and proued them ten dayes.

¹⁵ And at the end often dayes, their countenances appeared fairer, and fatter in flesh, then all the children, which did eate the portion of the kings meat.

¹⁶ Thus Melzar tooke away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink: and gaue them pulse.

¹⁷ ¶ As for these foure children, God gaue them knowledge, and skil in all learning and wisedome, and Daniel had vnderstanding in all visions and dreames.

¹⁸ Now at the end of the dayes that the King had said he should bring them in, then the Prince of the Eunuches brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

¹⁹ And the King communed with them: and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the King.

²⁰ And in all matters of wisedome and vnderstanding that the king enquired of them, hee found them ten times better then all the Magicians and Astrologers that were in all his Realme.

²¹ And Daniel continued euen vnto the first yeere of king Cyrus.

Roger's Daniel Chapter 1 comment on 4/29/2013, 9:56pm...

After reading the entire book of Daniel, it seems to me that the first chapter is only an inrtoduction to what commitment, dedication and devotion required to endure to the end. As in the book of rev. "...He that endures to the end the same shall be saved." The question then becomes.Who should endure what and why? We should pay close attention to what JESUS SAID TO PILOT "MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD" Pilot had ask,"Are you a King?" But Pilot didn't get it. His concerns were only about the things of this world. Hense he did not know nor did he understand the things of the Spirit. If you know who you are in Christ Jesus then you will realize you will suffer rejection and persicution from the world. The history given by Danial of the wars from Medo-Persian Empires through the Greco, and Roman Empires all the way through to the end times are the events of the things of the world. Danial 7:27 says "And the Kingdom and dominion,and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven,shallbe given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him." Christ left no question about the distinction of His kingdom and the kingdom of the world. A Brother And Beleiver.Roger.

Daniel was one of the most faithful, integrity keepers in the Old Testament. I love the book of Daniel, because here is where the coming, and the preservation of God's Kingdom is precisely foretold besides the book of Isaih and Zechariah.

I chose water as an answer, but computer marked milk. Jesus is my living water.

ERROL BRITTON's Daniel Chapter 1 comment on 3/01/2013, 12:05pm...

DANIEL loved and worshiped the ALMIGHTY GOD; HE also understood that GOD loved him. When he was captured, he maintained his close relationship. He knew is GOD would take care of his people. DANIEL has demonstrated to us that GOD will use situations to prepare you for a task; and once you remain his servant, you are always going to be okay. DANIEL displayed confidence in GOD to equip him for whatever comes; bound his action as to demonstrate to us the assurance, protection, DELIVERANCE GOD always has for His people. DANIEL’s action demonstrates that assurance...

Christ Jesus is God!

Ben's Daniel Chapter 1 comment on 2/25/2013, 3:25am...

It is my honour to appreciate you all for taking your time to enrich us with the word of God; especially about the book of Daniel. The Bible tells us God's people perish because of lack of knowledge. I won’t perish I have the word with me. God bless you abundantly.

Enoch Gyas's Daniel Chapter 1 comment on 1/10/2013, 4:51am...

The fear of the Lord is to hate evil, which also means character comes first before charisma. This is the qualification for promotion in GOD'S kingdom, so let's not put the cart before the wheel.

Biodun Williams's Daniel Chapter 1 comment on 1/03/2013, 8:46am...

There are many today who live their lives based on the platform that Christ has laid and that is He Himself, the Christ of God, being the Chief Corner stone; for there are no other foundations that can be laid except that which is laid through Jesus Christ. Hence, as somehow difficult to an extent as the book of Daniel is, and that is with regards to some of the prophecies therein, one cannot but be encouraged through it. It must be said however, that, there are those who do not demonstrate even that live style of Daniel but in fact above it simply because of the dispensation of grace we have been brought into. Hence, as Christians, Believers, or Saints in the LORD, we are into a covenant with God through Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world, and no matter what the challenges are, or the level of persecution, Jesus Christ in our lives, the hope of glory is more than enough. Also we must never forget that as Christians, born again, we’ve been anointed through the power of the Holy Spirit, hence that saintly element is inherent in it. However, in spite of that, we should not and must not get ourselves into self afflicted problems, that some have got themselves into, and think that we’re doing God some favours. And that is why no matter what we may learn from what Daniel and his friends did, in the days when they were in captivities, we must embrace and practice the counsel of the Holy Writ, and that is that we make sure that we permit the dictates of God’s Word, to work it’s workings, in and through our lives, and that is to the glory and honour of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. In other words, we must never ignore to truly and purposefully walk in love, as the Scriptures says- and when that is fully in place, and we continue therein, there is no weapon that is formed against us that shall prosper. Also, we should not forget that Christ Jesus did not come to judge but to save, deliver and rescue the lost- and he that does not believe is already condemned, hence there is no need to double condemn anybody. It is also interesting that when it says Daniel did not defile himself, it spiritually means that, in the new creature realities, we must pay attention to the Word God, invest consecrated time on it and then practice whatever the LORD reveals to us. This of a necessity demands humility and high level of commitment. Others would talk negatively about you, in fact some that never met you may say all manner of things about you, based on half truths or, error, but please don’t worry, simply remain committed and let the Word of God, do what it is meant to accomplish in your life. It says Daniel and his colleagues stayed, put and did well more than their fellows and that is one of the things that we should learn from, particularly in the things of the Gospel- and yet we can’t really compare ourselves with one another. For you can only compare likes with likes. The truth is that based on the principles of the Holy Spirit, we must never forget that Jesus Christ is the standard and hence we should only compare ourselves with the goal and task that has been given to us and that is, in line with the faithfulness and grace of the Triune God. When we give ourselves to the task that God has put in our hands, the honour that God gives will locate us with accuracy, no matter where we are; for we are ‘God’s agents’ on this planet earth- and the honour that we give Him is what He will pour on our lives to the degree of our dependency on His love and righteousness.
