Daniel 5

7The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

Belsasar serve como lhe corrijam de seu pai Nabónido. Nabónido era o primeiro senhor e seu filho Belsasar, o segundo. A pessoa que pudesse ler a escritura seria o terceiro.

9Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
