Though they receive excellent treatment and food, Daniel refuses meals dedicated to false gods and seeks permission to eat only vegetables and drink water.

One day a great king came to their homeland and took all the smart young men away to his country. The king had a huge long name-Nebuchadnezzar-and he lived in a faraway country called Babylon .  \nThe young men were treated very well in Babylon . The king had chosen the brightest and best young men from every country in the world. He planned to train them in the language of Babylon so they could become his servants and help him run the kingdom .  \nThe food was good, too. The young men ate what the king ate . But Daniel and his friends did not want to eat the food because it had been devoted to false gods . Daniel had promised he would never do anything against his God. The God of Israel had commanded His people to have nothing todo with idols or false gods .  \nDaniel asked the person incharge of his training for permission not to eat the king's food. If the king found out, he would be very angry. But God had made Daniel a favorite with this man .  \nHe agreed to give Daniel and his friends a test. For ten days they would eat only vegetables and drink only water . At the end of ten days Daniel and his friends looked much healthier than all the other young men who ate the king's food. So they were allowed to continue with vegetables and water .  \nThese young men  \nhonored God. And God  \nhonored them . God gave them knowledge and skill in the things they learned, and Daniel had wisdom to understand all visionsand dreams .  \nAfter three years of school in Babylon, all the young men were presented to King Nebuchadnezzar . He picked Daniel and his three friends as the best of them all. In fact, the King discovered that Daniel had more wisdom than all the wise men in his kingdom .  \nOne night, the king had a bad dream . He called for his magicians, astrologers and sorcerers to come and stand before him. The king said,“I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is anxious to understand the dream.” The wise men answered,“O king, live for ever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will tell you what it means .”  \nThe king responded,“No! You must tell me what I dreamed and what it means . If you don’t, you will be cut in pieces and your houses burned! But if you tell me the dream and what it means,” the king continued,“you will receive gifts and rewards and great  \nhonor .” Of course, none of the wise men could tell the king his dream .","cbCaisfUUSbJkI25","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisfUUSbJkI25","pdf",1811775,1,23,"English","en",105,"# Daniel’s capture and training in Babylon\n## Refusing food devoted to false gods\n## Test, health, and God-given wisdom\n## The king’s dream and the wise men’s failure","[{\"question\":\"Why are Daniel and his friends taken to Babylon?\",\"answer\":\"A great king named Nebuchadnezzar comes to Israel and takes smart young men away to Babylon to train them as servants and help run his kingdom.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Daniel do about the king’s food?\",\"answer\":\"Daniel refuses the food because it is devoted to false gods.
