Daniel1:20
20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times▪ better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm .
This is a further confirmation of the Kings noble endowments of mind, and of his great care whom he chose to be in offices of trust, namely persons excellently qualified to serve him in the great affairs of the Kingdom, not to serve his lusts of them for base jobs for which men of no abilities or honour are usually chosen.
