Daniel 1:19-21
19When the king interviewed them, he found them far superior to all the other young men. None were a match for Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. And so they took their place in the king''s service.
20Whenever the king consulted them on anything, on books or on life, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his kingdom put together.
21Daniel continued in the king''s service until the first year in the reign of King Cyrus.
