Daniel 1:17-21 - Faithfulness Rewarded
17 {And as for these four young men}, God gave to them knowledge and insight into all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had insight into all visions and dreams. 18 And at the end of the time the king had set to bring them, the commander of the court officials brought them in {before} Nebuchadnezzar. 19 And the king spoke with them, {and among all of them no one was found like} Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; then they stood {before} the king. 20 And in every matter of wisdom [and] understanding [about] which the king inquired from them, he found them ten times better [than] all [of] the magicians [and] conjurers that {were in his entire kingdom}. 21 And Daniel was [there] until the first year of Cyrus the king.
