26:048:035 It was round about eighteen thousand measures:  and the name of
           the city from that day shall be, The lord is there.

Book 27 Daniel

27:001:001 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came
           Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged
           it.

27:001:002 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with
           part of the vessels of the house of God:  which he carried into
           the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the
           vessels into the treasure house of his god.

27:001:003 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs,
           that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of
           the king’s seed, and of the princes;

27:001:004 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and
           skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and
           understanding science, and such as had ability in them to
           stand in the king’s palace, and whom they might teach the
           learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

27:001:005 And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s
           meat, and of the wine which he drank:  so nourishing them three
           years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the
           king.

27:001:006 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel,
           Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: 

27:001:007 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names:  for he gave
           unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of
           Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of
           Abednego.

27:001:008 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.

27:001:009 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with
           the prince of the eunuchs.

27:001:010 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.

27:001:011 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had
           set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

27:001:012 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them
           give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

27:001:013 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.
