God gives the four youths knowledge, and the king finds them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters

하나님이 네 소년에게 지식을 얻게 하시고 왕이 그 지혜와 총명이 십배나 나은 줄을 앎

Daniel 1:17–21: the text says, “Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.” At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brings them in before Nebuchadnezzar. The king talks with them; and among them all is found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. “Therefore they stood before the king.” In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he finds them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm. The text says, “Daniel continued even to the first year of King Cyrus.” Neither edition gives the words the king spoke with them. The Korean Revised Version reads 환관장 (the chief of the eunuchs) at 1:18, where WEB reads “the prince of the eunuchs”, and 그들로 왕 앞에 모시게 하고 (made them attend before the king) at 1:19, where WEB reads “Therefore they stood before the king”.
