Strong's Number H4428 matches the Hebrew מֶלֶךְ (meleḵ),
which occurs 52 times in 40 verses in 'Dan'
in the WLC Hebrew.
In the third year of the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar[fn] of Babylon came to Jerusalem and laid siege to it.
The king ordered Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to bring some of the Israelites from the royal family and from the nobility —
young men without any physical defect, good-looking, suitable for instruction in all wisdom, knowledgeable, perceptive, and capable of serving in the king’s palace. He was to teach them the Chaldean language and literature.
The king assigned them daily provisions from the royal food and from the wine that he drank. They were to be trained for three years, and at the end of that time they were to attend the king.[fn]
Daniel determined that he would not defile himself with the king’s food or with the wine he drank. So he asked permission from the chief eunuch not to defile himself.
yet he said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who assigned your food and drink. What if he sees your faces looking thinner than the other young men your age? You would endanger my life[fn] with the king.”
“Then examine our appearance and the appearance of the young men who are eating the king’s food, and deal with your servants based on what you see.”
At the end of ten days they looked better and healthier[fn] than all the young men who were eating the king’s food.
At the end of the time that the king had said to present them, the chief eunuch presented them to Nebuchadnezzar.
The king interviewed them, and among all of them, no one was found equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they began to attend the king.
In every matter of wisdom and understanding that the king consulted them about, he found them ten times[fn] better than all the magicians and mediums in his entire kingdom.
So the king gave orders to summon the magicians, mediums, sorcerers, and Chaldeans[fn] to tell the king his dreams. When they came and stood before the king,
The Chaldeans spoke to the king (Aramaic[fn] begins here): “May the king live forever. Tell your servants the dream, and we will give the interpretation.”
In the third year of King Belshazzar’s reign, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after the one that had appeared to me earlier.
“The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes represents the first king.[fn]
I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was greatly disturbed by the vision and could not understand it.
We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, leaders, ancestors, and all the people of the land.
LORD, public shame belongs to us, our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors, because we have sinned against you.
In the third year of King Cyrus of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar. The message was true and was about a great conflict. He understood the message and had understanding of the vision.
“But the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me after I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
Now I will tell you the truth.
“Three more kings will arise in Persia, and the fourth will be far richer than the others. By the power he gains through his riches, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.
“The king of the South will grow powerful, but one of his commanders will grow more powerful and will rule a kingdom greater than his.
“After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to seal the agreement. She will not retain power, and his strength will not endure. She will be given up, together with her entourage, her father,[fn] and the one who supported her during those times.
“In the place of the king of the South, one from her family[fn] will rise up, come against the army, and enter the fortress of the king of the North. He will take action against them and triumph.
“He will take even their gods captive to Egypt, with their metal images and their precious articles of silver and gold. For some years he will stay away from the king of the North,
“who will enter the kingdom of the king of the South and then return to his own land.
“Infuriated, the king of the South will march out to fight with the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but they will be handed over to his enemy.
“The king of the North will again raise a multitude larger than the first. After some years[fn] he will advance with a great army and many supplies.
“In those times many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent ones among your own people will assert themselves to fulfill a vision, but they will fail.
“Then the king of the North will come, build up a siege ramp, and capture a well-fortified city. The forces of the South will not stand; even their select troops will not be able to resist.
“With a large army he will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South. The king of the South will prepare for battle with an extremely large and powerful army, but he will not succeed, because plots will be made against him.
“The two kings, whose hearts are bent on evil, will speak lies at the same table but to no avail, for still the end will come at the appointed time.
“Then the king will do whatever he wants. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and he will say outrageous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, because what has been decreed will be accomplished.
