In the Bible, it refers to the last king of Babylon, who is most famously known for the "writing on the wall" incident in the Book of Daniel. His name signifies a plea for protection from the Babylonian god Bel (also known as Marduk).<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Belshazzar was a historical figure who served as co-regent with his father, Nabonidus, the last king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. The Book of Daniel portrays him as a ruler who held a great feast during which he profaned the sacred vessels from the Jerusalem Temple. This act led to the divine judgment symbolized by the mysterious writing on the wall, which Daniel interpreted as the imminent fall of Babylon to the Medes and Persians. Historically, Belshazzar's reign ended with the conquest of Babylon by Cyrus the Great in 539 BC.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"Bel, protect the king," a Bab. king<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Belshazzar (1).<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">ֵבּלְאשַׁצַּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<i><em>Bêl-šar-uƒur</em></i>, <em>Bel, protect the king</em> COT <a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-1.htm">Daniel 5:1</a>) <a href="/interlinear/daniel/8-1.htm">Daniel 8:1</a>;
