- "Belshazzar had gone too far in profaning the holy vessels from God's temple. Destruction was closing in on him and all his drunken companions even while Daniel's investiture was taking place in the banquet hall. The Medo-Persian troops were stealthily moving along the exposed riverbed under cover of darkness and climbing the walls of the defenses while revelry was going on throughout the city." (Gleason L. Archer, Jr., THE EXPOSITOR'S BIBLE COMMENTARY, Vol. 7, © 1985 Zondervan, p. 75)
