'Officials' in the Bible

The king commanded Ashpenaz, who was in charge of his court officials, to choose some of the Israelites who were of royal and noble descent --

But the overseer of the court officials renamed them. He gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar, Hananiah he named Shadrach, Mishael he named Meshach, and Azariah he named Abednego.

But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the royal delicacies or the royal wine. He therefore asked the overseer of the court officials for permission not to defile himself.

Then God made the overseer of the court officials sympathetic to Daniel.

Daniel then spoke to the warden whom the overseer of the court officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

When the time appointed by the king arrived, the overseer of the court officials brought them into Nebuchadnezzar's presence.

Then those officials who had gone to the king came by collusion and found Daniel praying and asking for help before his God.
