Daniel 1:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ After the king had spoken with all of them, no one was found to compare with Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore, all four of them were appointed to the king’s court. ²⁰ In regard to whatever point of wisdom or understanding the king would question them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters throughout his entire kingdom. ²¹ Daniel remained there until the first year of the reign of King Cyrus.^[a]
