In the Old Testament, the last king of
Babylon, son of Nebuchadnezzar.
During a feast (known as Belshazzar's Feast)
he saw a message, interpreted by Daniel as
prophesying the fall of Babylon and death of
Belshazzar. All of this is said to have
happened the same night that the city was
invaded by the Medes and Persians (539 BC).
