但以理被掳到巴比伦
1犹大王约雅敬执政第三年,巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒前来围攻耶路撒冷. 2主将犹大王约雅敬及上帝殿中的部分器具交在他手中.他把器具掳到巴比伦1:2 “巴比伦”希伯来文是“示拿”,巴比伦的别称.的神庙,放在他神明的库房里.
3王吩咐太监长亚施毗拿从以色列的王室贵族中选一些人, 4即毫无残疾,相貌英俊,学问渊博,知识丰富,聪慧善学,能在王宫服侍的青年,教他们迦勒底的语言和文字. 5王安排他们每日享用一份御用的膳食和酒.他们要受教养三年,期满后好在王身边供职. 6被选的人中有犹大族的但以理,哈拿尼雅,米沙利,亚撒利雅. 7太监长给他们起了名字:称但以理为伯提沙撒,哈拿尼雅为沙得拉,米沙利为米煞,亚撒利雅为亚伯尼歌.
8然而,但以理决心不用王的膳食和酒,以免玷污自己.他请求太监长准许他不玷污自己. 9上帝使但以理得到太监长的恩待和同情. 10不过,太监长对但以理说:“我惧怕我主我王,因为这是他安排给你们的饮食.如果他看见你们比同龄的青年瘦弱,如何是好?你们会使我在王面前人头难保.” 11但以理便对太监长派来监管他,哈拿尼雅,米沙利和亚撒利雅的人说: 12“求你试试看,十天内只让仆人们吃素菜,喝清水, 13然后比较一下我们的面貌和那些用御膳的青年的面貌,看了之后再作决定.” 14监管同意试他们十天. 15十天后,但以理和他三个朋友看上去比那些用御膳的青年更俊美健康. 16于是,监管撤去了安排给他们的膳食和酒,只给他们素菜.
17上帝使这四个青年精通各样学问和知识.但以理能明白各种异象和梦兆. 18到了尼布甲尼撒王规定青年们进宫的日子,太监长便带他们去见王. 19王与他们谈话,发现无人比得上但以理,哈拿尼雅,米沙利和亚撒利雅,便把他们留在身边供职. 20王询问他们各样的事,发现他们的智慧和聪明比全国的术士和巫师高十倍. 21直到塞鲁士王元年,但以理仍在那里供职.
