Daniel 1:20-21

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ He asked them for advice in matters that required wisdom and understanding. The king always found their answers to be the best. Other men in his kingdom claimed to get knowledge by using magic. But the answers of Daniel and his friends were ten times better than theirs.

²¹ Daniel served in Babylon until the first year Cyrus ruled over the land of Babylon. Cyrus was king of Persia.
