Daniel 1:2-4
New King James Version
2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with (A)some of the articles of [a]the house of God, which he carried (B)into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; (C)and he brought the articles into the treasure house of his god.
3 Then the king instructed Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, to bring (D)some of the children of Israel and some of the king’s descendants and some of the nobles, 4 young men (E)in whom there was no blemish, but good-looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understand, who had ability to serve in the king’s palace, and (F)whom they might teach the language and [b]literature of the Chaldeans.
