Daniel 1:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 And the king appointed them provision every day of a [a]portion of the king’s meat, and of the wine, which he drank, so nourishing them [b]three years, that at the end thereof, they might stand [c]before the king.
6 Now among these were certain of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.
7 Unto whom the chief of the Eunuchs [d]gave other names: for he called Daniel, Belteshazzar, and Hananiah, Shadrach, and Mishael, Meshach, and Azariah, Abednego.
