In the Bible, it refers to the last king of Babylon mentioned in the Book of Daniel. He is known for his impious act of using the sacred vessels from the Jerusalem Temple during a feast, which led to the famous "writing on the wall" incident.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Belshazzar was a historical figure, the son of Nabonidus, the last king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. While Nabonidus was away, Belshazzar ruled as co-regent in Babylon. The biblical account in Daniel 5 describes the fall of Babylon to the Medes and Persians, an event corroborated by historical records. The use of temple vessels in a profane manner was a significant act of sacrilege, highlighting the tension between the Babylonian empire and the God of Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1112.htm">Beleshatstsar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a Bab. king<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Belshazzar (7).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בֵּלְשַׁאצַּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>king of Babylonian</b></font>, according to <a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-1.htm">Daniel 5:1</a>,2,9,22,29 (Biblical Hebrew <em>id.</em>, p. 128) = <font class="hebrew2">בֵּלְאשַׁצַּר</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-30.htm">Daniel 5:30</a>; <a href="/interlinear/daniel/7-1.htm">Daniel 7:1</a>; <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Βαλτασαρ</font>; see Bev<sup>Ency.
