Daniel 1:10 ASV

⁸  But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's dainties, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

⁹  Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.

¹⁰  And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head with the king.

¹¹  Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

¹²  Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
