“But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself. And God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the chief of the eunuchs, and the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who assigned your food and your drink; for why should he see that you were in worse condition than the youths who are of your own age? So you would endanger my head with the king.” Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had assigned over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. ...”

Daniel was a prophet in the Bible who is known for his dedication to the Lord and his bravery and courage to stand up to a king who was adamant on destroying the Jews. As an act of obedience, Daniel fasted from the King’s food and relied on the Lord to sustain him on his consumption of vegetables and water.
