¹⁷ God gave now these four springaldes cunning and learning in all scripture and wisdom: but unto Daniel specially, he gave understanding of all visions and dreams. ¹⁸ Now when the time was expired, that the king had appointed to bring in these young springaldes unto him: the chief chamberlain brought them before Nebuchadnezzar, ¹⁹ and the king communed with them. But among them all were found none such as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ²⁰ Therefore stood they before the king, which in all wisdom and matters of understanding that he enquired of them, found them ten times better than all the soothsayers and charmers that were in all his realm. ²¹ And Daniel abode still, unto the first year of king Cyrus.
