Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 5:5-6

Daniel 5:5-6. In the same hour At the very time; came forth fingers of a man’s hand The likeness of a man’s hand; and wrote over against the candlestick The angel Gabriel, say the rabbins, directing this hand, and writing by it. Belshazzar seems to have filled up the measure of his iniquity, by this act of gross impiety and dishonour done to the true God. And the king saw It seems, first saw; the part of the hand that wrote It is probable this candlestick was a hanging sconce, near... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Daniel 5:1-31

Belshazzar’s feast (5:1-31)The events of this chapter took place in 539 BC. If Daniel was about fifteen years of age when taken captive to Babylon in 605 BC, he would now be over eighty. Nebuchadnezzar had long been dead. The present king, Nabonidus, was absent in distant territories for much of his reign, and the rule of the country was largely in the hands of his son Belshazzar. The queen who appears in the story (v. 10) was probably the queen mother, wife of Nabonidus. Nebuchadnezzar is... read more

vessels . Compare Daniel 1:2 ; and see 2 Kings 25:15 . 2 Chronicles 36:10 . father Nebuchadnezzar . No "historical difficulty". Critics should tell us what word Daniel could have used, seeing there is no word in Chaldee or Hebrew for "grandfather". The word "father" is used by Figure of speech Synecdoche (of Species), App-6 , for ancestor. Compare 1 Kings 15:11-13 , where David is called the "father" of Asa, and Maachah is called his mother (compare 2 Kings 15:1 , 2 Kings 15:2 with 11-13).... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 5:1

This chapter relates the events of the last night of the Babylonian empire. The first thing that the Christian student confronts in the study of this chapter is a barrage of assertions by critical commentators that the events here recorded are "unhistorical." This should produce no uneasiness whatever upon the part of believers. The events here reported are unassailable; and this may be viewed as the only accurate report of that final fatal night of the power of Babylon.The contradictory,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 5:5

"In the same hour came forth the fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king's countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothesayers. The king spake and said unto the wise men of Babylon,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 5:1

Daniel 5:1. Belshazzar the king— The grandson of Nebuchadnezzar, the Labynetus of Herodotus, and the last monarch of the Babylonian kingdom. This last king is said by Ptolemy to have reigned 17 years, and we read of the third year of Belshazzar, Dan 8:1 but Laborosoarchod reigned only nine months. Certain it is from Jer 27:6-7 that the kingdom would be continued to the son's son of Nebuchadnezzar, and from 2Ch 36:20 that to him and his sons the sovereignty would be continued until the kingdom... read more

Daniel 5:2. Whiles he tasted the wine— When he grew warm with wine. Houbigant. The golden and silver vessels here spoken of, were those carried by Nebuchadnezzar from the temple of Jerusalem to the treasure-house of his god, (see chap. Daniel 1:2.) and which were there set apart for religious uses. So that this farther profanation of them, as Dr. Prideaux observes, was contrary to the rules of their own religion, and may be supposed to have been committed by Belshazzar in an excessive riot of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 5:4

Daniel 5:4. And praised the gods of gold— Here is a kind of competition, or the appearance of a triumph of the false gods over the true one, whom still Nebuchadnezzar had honoured and acknowledged, and prohibited by a solemn decree that any one should speak lightly of him. The competition appears much stronger in the Alexandrine and Coptic versions, which add, "But the everlasting God they praised not." Such a wanton and sacrilegious insult deserved and called for exemplary punishment. read more
