Daniel 1

In the third year of Yehoyaqim king of Yehudah, Nebuchadnezzar besieges Yerushalayim and takes noble youths including Daniyyel, Hananyah, Misha'el, and Azaryah captive to Bavel, renaming them Beltsha'tsar, Shadrakh, Meshakh, and Abed-Nego. Daniyyel and his companions resolve not to defile themselves with the king's food and wine, requesting vegetables and water; YHWH grants them knowledge, skill, and superior appearance after ten days.[1][5]
