Daniel 1:16 in Context — Daniel 1
14 Consintió pues con ellos en esto, y probó con ellos diez días.
15 Y al cabo de los diez días pareció el rostro de ellos mejor y más nutrido de carne, que los otros muchachos que comían de la ración de la comida del rey.
16 Así fué que Melsar tomaba la ración de la comida de ellos, y el vino de su beber, y dábales legumbres.
17 Y á estos cuatro muchachos dióles Dios conocimiento é inteligencia en todas letras y ciencia: mas Daniel tuvo entendimiento en toda visión y sueños.
18 Pasados pues los días al fin de los cuales había dicho el rey que los trajesen, el príncipe de los eunucos los trajo delante de Nabucodonosor.
